Jan, can you suggest anything based on this view only? It looks like an Opomyza sp, but not like the extremely common O. florum. Or do these flies darken for overwintering?

Here they are orange in summer and brown when sitting at the house wall in late autumn/winter:

Hi Gabor,

Is this the only image you have of this specimen? Or do you also have an image on which the wing markings can be seen?

No this is my only photo, the fly flew away.
