Hello
I found this hatched out freshly fly in the grass on May 18th, 2011 in front of bushes (Stuttgart, Germany). She was about five to six millimetres in size. Is this a male of Pegomya?
Regards
Andreas

Yes, It agrees very well with the key features for
Pegomya testacea.

Do theese flies stay that colour once the wings have dried?

Yes, '
testacea' means 'tile-coloured', ie terracotta.
