I don't think fly is yellowish, but Anthomyiidae is correct

Hello, Nikita!

Thanks! I already had changed the subject from "yellowish brown". I just wanted to express that the grey of this fly does not tend to a darker or bluish grey like that of some other flies I photographed today. To the bare eye (without flash light) it was really more yellowish than visible on these pics.
Best regards,
Jürgen

Yes, you are most probably right. On first sight I saved them as different species, on second I thought they could perhaps be the same. Now on third glimpse (after posting the second fly...) I again think, they are different. Cool

They are two diferent flies-note the different width of frontalia and parafrontalia, the latter much narrower in photo 2. Sorry I can't say what species
