This muscidae (I think) is rather common on the tree trunks in the springsun. I think itīs typical with the greenish thorax with two darker diffuse strokes, and the bluish abdomen. The fly is about 8 - 9 mm.

Thankyou Nikita. I like to have a name on my friends that live "nextdoor" :-D Now I know one more.
cf. is it "colourform"?

cf means that Nikita is not totally certain of his species ID, but is close. cf stands for 'confer', in its sense of 'comparable to'.
