John's idea was good, but I doubt that it is answer. I have a lot of material with me (for co-quarantine: me+Diptera). In H. irritance group f3 and t3 should be strongly curved.
Muscid on these imags looks as Lophosceles hians with dark legs https://diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=6268
Sorry, I have no idea.


I have looked at the image of Lophosceles hians, and (apart from the yellow legs!) looks very similar, except that mine has at least 2 prominent spines in the middle of the hind tibia, but the photo specimen does not have any in the middle. So I suggest it's probably not that species.

I have looked at my images of the legs in case this is useful, and it's difficult to see properly in poor light (in the shade of a huge Picea pungens!), so this is the best photo, post-processed.
