Hello I found this hatched out freshly fly in the grass on May 18th, 2011 in front of bushes (Stuttgart, Germany). She was about five to six millimetres in size. Is this a male of Pegomya?

Yes, It agrees very well with the key features for Pegomya testacea. |

Yes, 'testacea' means 'tile-coloured', ie terracotta. |
