I found this fly in my garden last week (in January). I thought initially that it was a muscidae, but it seems to be a Anthomyiidae (A1 seems to reach the wing border). I am quite confused, because I didn't find anything looking like this fly in both Anthomyiidae and Muscidae gallery. It does look like a
Pegomya, but the abdomen decoration is quite strange. Do you have any idea of what it could be ?

Hi,
a male
Phaonia subventa (Muscidae). The black pattern on abdomen is very variable (from nearly completely black to missing)

Thank you :). I thought the abdomen was always pure yellow...
