I know the photo is blurry, but maybe the thorax pattern is so unique that an ID is possible nevertheless?

Found in a forest in Vienna, end of April

Even if species ID is not possible, am I at least right with the family?

Should be a Scathophaga but not stercoraria

Thank you Paul.
Although a final ID might not be possible, with the wing markings, the dorsal thorax pattern and the dark area on the front femur, to me S. furcata seems to be a good match.
