Hi,
Ten days ago I came across this sunbathing Muscid. It did not allow for a shot from above, so I hope the side-face will do. The arista is feathery.
Seen in a riding stable on Rugia close to the Baltic shore.
Thanks for help, Sundew

Well, I should have recognized that common species! However, the
Ph. subventa pics of my collection looked a bit different to me. The bristles of the head, though similarly arranged, seemed to be not that long and eye-catching (see below). So I thought it might be another species. But perhaps it was only a matter of light and shadow...
Many thanks, Nikita,
Sundew
