Thanks for your confidence to my ability for solving photographic puzzles, Jan Willem Smile
To me, the pictures seem to show rather D. histrio, but it is difficult to tell this in absence of a good picture of ovipositor.

Thanks to both of you! Wnen I check in "The Drosophilidae (Diptera)
of Fennoscandia and Denmark" genitalia fits well to histrio. I am not able to get any good photos on it unfortunatly.
