Hello,

can be said more about this fly than just Scathophaga sp.? Ca. 8 mm, at a fence on meadow (northwest Germany).

Is there anything against S. stercoraria (female)?

Yes, the yelllow antennae.

It looks like S. furcata to me. Can't be sure though.

Hello Piros and Stephane,

thanks for your comments. I also thought of a female S. stercoraria at first, but then I noticed the yellowish antennae on the photo. That's why I posted the fly here.
