Muscidae_Thricops semicinereus(female) is correct? Region Malá Fatra Terchová about 600 m above sea level. Thank you very much for your help. I made a photo of 24.07.2011.

It seems to be
Hydrotaea meridionalis with this amount of yellow on the abdomen...

I don't think it is
meridionalis:
1. Reliable records of
meridionalis (males) as far as I know are from Crimea and Caucasus.
2. Females of this group at my opinion are hardly distinguishable.
3. Females of the most common species -
borussica at my opinion may be without shining spots on tergite III. As well, females of other related species may be with these spots. Spots are not taxonomic character, but a matter of female's age and present on aged females.
