Hello!

This 8 mm fly was resting on a twig of a plum tree in our garden this night (northwest Germany). Can it be determined more closely? Thanks!

With nightly photos with flash I still have many problems Sad.

For me at least I can say, that this was the first time, I saw a fly like this.
Best regards,
