Hello,

probably a Muscidae species?
I photographed the fly on the edge of the Ragga Gorge in Carinthia (Austria) on August 14th, 2023.

I think it is female Muscina pascuorum
Revision of Muscina, see: https://ia802602.us.archive.org/2/items/amur-23-1-vikhrev-esin/Amur23-1-Vikhrev_Esin.pdf)

Hello Nikita,

Thank you very much for your tip!

Your comments on the Palearctic Muscina are a very helpful tool for identifying the species in this genus.

I also think Muscina pascuorum is correct.
Best regards, Heiko
