Is this 4 mm fly a Sphaerocerid? On 11th October in our garden (northwest Germany).

Looks like a heleomyzid because of the spiny bristles along the costa.

Ahh... I had that one already around the same time: http://www.dipter...d_id=16957. But I did not recognize this one to be the same :|. Many thanks!
