Hello!

There were many Muscidae and some Calliphoridae sunbathing at 3-5 °C this afternoon at the forest border (northwest Germany). Mostly the usual winter candidates, but I am not sure of this one. Hebecnema sp.? About 5 mm.

I would need hind leg chaetotaxy to confirm, but it seems to be Hebecnema indeed.
