Location: Wooden railing around a pond (Helsingborg, Sweden)

Thanks for help!

Muscina levida?

Muscina is correct, but not M. levida (yellow basicosta, cell r4+5 too narrow).
The tibiae seems pale brown when lightening the picture, so I would say Muscina stabulans.

Hello, Stephane!

I guess, this recent (January-26 at house wall, Germany) 9 mm fly is Muscina stabulans, too?

Yes, no doubt. ;)
