There are two very simular common one: A.pluvialis / procellaris
The postsutural black spot seems separated from the small spot above wing base.
Hairs on arista not visible
I would say a A.cf pluvialis........but personally i find these flies a crime on photos
When i see them, i prefer to crawl away:D
