Can anyone guide me to what this is, as far as possible, maybe even species? It was photographed at the end of July in Sweden. Nice warm weather (above 20 degrees celcius). Out in nature far from cities. No houses for hundreds of meters. Out in a field that now is wild but used to be a filed where cow graced 30 years ago. This one is sitting on the stem of a flowering plant but I don't remember which one. Is all of this to any help in identifying this fly?  It's the only photo I have of this fly so I can't give any better angles, sorry. Thanks, Mats Ratatoskr attached the following image:  [187.05Kb] Belief is not an idea that the mind possesses but an idea that possesses the mind. |

Looks like some kind of Scathophagidae....Stephane might know which one! |

Muscidae, perhaps Anthomyiidae...

I'd say male Anthomyia monilis

Thank you all. It would be nice if someone could confirm Nikita's identification and maybe Stephane could give his thoughts too, but I will definitely go with Nikita's if there are no objections to it. To me it looks very much like it, but then what do I know so many look so alike to us non-experts.
