Thank you Eric, it doesn't seem to be that easy. I noticed the black triangles on the abdomen.
Best regards, Volkmar

And indeed it's not that easy: there are several flies (some Sarcophagidae and more) with triangles on the abdomen. That's why I cautiously said 'it looks like...' without a dorsal view.

Hi Eric,
maybe the photos will help; I was able to take a photo of the lady from above and from behind.
