Badem, RLP, Germany; Photos taken of fly that I captured in my garden 10 Mar 2020. I estimate it to be about 10mm. My first post in this forum - I hope the photo shows in the thread.

Hi Jim, and welcome to the forum! This is quite tricky as the fly has not yet it's original colour (teneral). If I see the wing venation correctly, it could be a Muscidae, but I'm unable to say more.

Greetings, Eric

I'd say the anal vein reaches the wing margin, so I'd make it Anthomyiidae.

The bristling of the thorax and hind tibia points to Muscidae.

It is not hairy enough for Egle ciliata and the antennae are too long.
