Hi,

Few days ago I took a few pictures of a longish, medium-sized fly on a leaf of one of our garden shrubs.

The appendices on the antennae seems to suggest it might belong to the family Sciomyzidae. My best guess would be Elgiva cucularia. Is it possible to confirm or reject that speculation based on the picture below?

Germany, Garden in Southern Bavaria, Munich (-West), 25.09.2021, app. 6-8 mm

Greetings, Uli
