Hello!

A rather large one (8-9 mm). Is it Mycophaga testacea again? At a hedge, northwest Germany.

If the arista is long haired M.testacea seems right, but i can't see if arista is long haired and if there are interfrontals present or not......

Better luck next time!

Thanks! I just came in from the garden, and had several of them at the light. I am confident having taken some better pics :). But I still have to inspect them (have taken nearly 300 photos on this very mild autumn evening) - maybe tomorrow... :D

I hope, I didn't promise too much... I still had to resize the pics to see the hairy arista.

Here are more pictures of the whole fly:
