male - August, 2018 - Berlin

I'm having trouble keying this one. I end up at both Sapromyza and Sapromyzosoma.
i do not see mark(s) between antennae. wings do not have any dark areas.
3 obvious dc. maybe 4 if the small hair is considered to be a dc bristle.
only four dark spots that i can see on the abdomen. palpi should be yellow.
i can see the genitalia clearly via my macro photo which is included with the attached image.

anyone able to help?

edit: corrected genus to Sapromyzosoma quadripunctata.

Correct. All fits: genitalia, two rows of acrostichal setae, four abdominal spots and dark bristles at apex of hind femora and tibiae.

oh yes! I am tired and confused today. I'm doing too many things at one time.
very sorry. I've submitted to the gallery under the wrong name.
can you change the title or is it better to delete and resubmit?

along with Stomoxys calcitrans and Pyrellia vivida.
