Hello, is my assumption right or belongs this fly to another species? All legs are dark.
Thank you, Marion

It is a male anthomyiid, but I cannot see enough to go further. Hydrophoria should have a plumose arista, and
H. lancifer has a long prealar seta, neither of which is apparent here.

Stephen, thank you for explanation of the characteristic details which are not visible here.
So I have to wait for another more pacient specimen, allowing views from more angles.
