Definitely Blepharipa pratensis.

Thanks
Theo

You can also put your location in your profile on the forum :)
Your photos show the hind-tibia "bristle-comb" quite nicely which puts it clearly in the
Sturmia/
Blepharipa area.
Blepharipa is a bigger, darker fly and
pratensis has median marginals on tergite #3 unlike the alternative,
schineri. :)
