Hi,
in the beginning of August I found this fly on dead wood at a forest edge in Germany, Saxony. Could it be a male Drosophila suzukii?

It looks like. Still, it would be nice to see more pictures, if possible.

That is not D. suzukii, and while I don't know what it is right now - I am sure it's not a Drosophilid

I suspect Geomyza (Opomyzidae).
Best regards,
Jürgen

Thank you very much for correction.
I have two other, unfortunately, bad pictures. Maybe they are helpful for ID.
I ´ll change the title.

Although I was a bit suspicious (two dark combs of setae on fore tarsi, typical for D. suzukii, were not visible), I was not suspicious enough. Juergen correctly recognized that it is a Geomyza and the two last pictures confirm his opinion.
