Hello!

One of the smaller flies (4 mm) licking sap on cut trunks of a hedge on March-03 (northwest Germany). ID possible? To the right a female Phaonia tuguriorum for size comparison.

Hello!

No chance? Not even family (I'm not sure, whether these are Muscids)?

Sorry Juergen, they most likely are Muscidae, but the pictures are not enough sharp for me.
