Hello!

Another fly from a Prunus spinosa hedge yesterday (northwest Germany). About 6 mm. Is it Melinda sp. (Calliphoridae)?

That would be my suggestion.

Two very similar species

And even similar species in other families... ;). This one was found 1 day later at the same sloe bush, but the wing venation suggests Muscidae, Morellia.
