Hi;

photographed this fly in my garden today; was sitting on Vitis vinifera.
In flight it goes really slow, very cool to watch.

I do not have a clue what it could be... (Dolichopodidae perhaps?)

Can someone tell more about this fly?
Thanks in advance, bye, Jonas

This is a male Coenosiine Muscid. Most likely Coenosia sp.
