Hullo!

Found this fly on a wall this afternoon. After scrolling through the gallery I came to a conclusion that it could be a heleomyzid. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Could at least the genus be determined?

In that case serrata might be the most probable species around here but cant be sure I quess.

Thank you for your opinion.

serrata or captiosa. To decide you need a good photo of the genitalia.
