Hello!

Many of these 4-5 mm flies rested on a metal garden fence last week (northwest Germany). I guess, they are Anthomyiidae. Maybe Delia sp.?

Anthomyiidae...yes
Delia sp.....most probable
In general "Jizz"...it looks like the common Delia platura
But can't be sure, because the necessary details are not visible
(Could also be Delia florilega or other simular Delia. sp.)

Joke :)

Hello, Joke!

Thank you! I was thinking about D. platura, but I knew this would not be so easy...
