Hello! I assume this 7 mm fly at the light last night (northwest Germany) is a Muscid. But which genus? Phaonia? Or a small Polietes? (Looks a bit like Muscina, too, from size and general look, but there is no bend in M-vein and no reddish scutellum tip.)

The proclinate orbital setae on frons rules any Phaonia out. This is a small Polietes.
