I know it is a difficult family, but hope is the last thing we lose. ;)

With a plumose arista, it might belong to a genus beginning with 'H'.

John,
Now I have a problem: both
Hylemya and
Hydrophoria have plumose aristae and begin with an 'H'. :S

John is right with his ‘H’ possibilities, but I must say…there are more species within other genera with relative long haired arista.
Looking at the general appearance, I don’t think it is
Hydrophoria, because the calypters seems not strong yellowish and the fly seems a bit small.
The occiput looks bare beneeth the postoculars and with yellowish tibia, it could be
Hylemya vagans……but there seems to be setulae on vein C on dorsal site…..what
H. vagans should not have.
Maybe an enlargement of vein C to see if I am right …or not!
For John; you are right about the haired notopleuron in Eutrichota, the Eutrichota humeralis species group indeed has!

Hmmm...it looks indeed haired !
I presume you don't have other photos of the same fly.
Difficult to say what other species it could be, I have to think about it....

Goedemorgen Johanna,
No, I have no other photos. But genus level is more than I wished for, so don't "lose" more time with it. ;)
Thanks again!! :)
