Today, my garden, Kapellen, Belgium. Only this picture (and some other even worse pictures). Scathophaga stercoraria, something else or impossible to tell? Thanks in advance!

Possibly, but antennae are not visible. If black, then stercoraria is almost certain.

Yep. I think you can put this one down as Scathophaga stercoraria. ;)
