Probably L. bifurcata, but it's been a while since I last identified some of these flies.

Are they common when they occur? Or is it rare to spot them? I learned that L. bifurcata is parthenogenetic!  |

Rather common and especialy in places as you discribed - grass in wet place. Your is female and according my key exactly L. bifurcata. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
