Hello!
A 5 mm fly from our garden yesterday (northwest Germany). Is
Nyctia halterata correct?

It's a small sarcophagid but not
Nyctia I think - the wing isn't shaded and the body isn't dark/shiny enough :)

Thanks, Chris! With the bare eye I first thought it was a Rhinophorid, but on the PC I saw it must be Sarcophagidae. I did not have
Nyctia halterata before. Would have been too nice... ;)
