Hello,

these pictures were taken on June 9 last year in our backyard near a small pond. The fly is about 6 mm long. I think it should be Conisternum decipiens.
Can this be confirmed?

Thank you for an answer!

Hans

I don't think so. The leg chaetotaxy and colouration look more like Scathophaga stercoraria to me
