date: 28. Oct. 2022; location: in Hamburg, Germany; in a small nature reserve at a little river with meadows, some trees and shrubs an small ponds; fly sitting on the leaves of reed in one of these ponds; size: 7-10 mm (estimated); probably a fly from the family Sciomyzidae, perhaps Elgiva solicita?

Thanks, Fred, for confirmation of the suggested ID.
Indeed, the first specimen was in the sun, the other in the shadow.
Best regards, Volker
