Hello,
today I took some pictures, because I noticed the unusually black face of this fly. It looks like a Sarcophaga. Is it a sick fly or exists really such funny looking species?

My guess is that is a newly emerged
Sarcophaga in which the ptilinium is still everted. See here:

Thank you for answers. It is the first time that I see such a fly with the ptilinium everted. Maybe it is here a permanent condition, because wings do not really look fresh.
