Paul, according that key :
http://www.kzbp.b...93_302.pdf I think it may be
S. fasciatus female.
- Scutellum in both sexes with strong short marginal setae
- Female claws with inner tooth on
all legs
Do you agree ?

Your fly's scutellum has long, pale hairs, like this expert-identified
Sphaeromias pictus:
