Today I photographed this fly at Leerdam, Netherlands.
Because of the orange tip to the scutellum, I thought of Muscina. Could it be Muscina levida?
Thanks in advance!

It seems to me that if make image extremely white, that palpi is yellow.
In this case more probably Muscina prolapsa.

Hello Nikita, thanks, you are right, the palps are yellowish, so it cannot be
levida. Since it is not
stabulans either, it must be
prolapsa then, or could
M. pascuorum also be a possibility?
