It is a species of Triphleba. In the British key it runs to T. papillata but Disney illustrated the seventh sternite being pale with a black apex. In this specimen the seventh sternite is entirely black but that does seem to fit with the descrition in Die Fliegen. So, I call it Triphleba papillata.
