Scathophagidae.  NOT the Scathophaga stercoraria (the most common) by sure!  |

It is a female. Females of S. stercoraria are *very* variable in colour: yellow, reddish, green, grey... I'm not 100% sure your fly is stercoraria though. Kahis |

So what are the other possibilities? Those are fairly definitely dark antennae. Very curious now
