Is it possible to ID this fly to genus/species, about 4 mm? The legs are yellow with a lot of long black setae/hairs.

Collected along the coast? It looks like Coelopidae.
Best wishes, Niels-Jan Dek

I have looked clooser on the fly and it certainly looks like a Coelopidae, as you suggest Niels-Jan. Perhaps I was at the coast that day in januari and perhaps it followed me home in some way.

Best wishes
