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

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
