Hello!

A 7-8 mm fly from a stake on a meadow with apple trees today (northwest Germany). I think it is Scatophagidae, but even for a male it looks to me too slender and longlegged for genus Scatophaga, and the spines on the legs seem too big. What can it be? Norellia/Norellisoma? But I have never seen one of them witch such a bluish grey thorax...

Hello!

After Frank Marquard had refreshed my memory a little bit ;), I now think this is Norellia spinipes.
