Hello!

An 8 mm Muscid from first April in our garden (northwest Germany). Polietes? Or Phaonia?

If the picture doesn't mislead me, this is Muscina levida.

Thanks, Stephane! There were countless M. levida around at that time:

But on this one I missed the slight curve in the M-vein and the reddish scutellum tip.
