In my home garden in a village in Groningen (Netherlands) I found this fly (May 2022). It stood out because of its contrasting cream scutellum, so candidates were, to my opinion Carcelia iliaca, Blephara pratensis and Ernestis rudis. Can anybody help me to pin it down to some species (and the arguments)? My choice would be C. iliaca because of lack of orange in antenna, and not too obvious brown base of wing.

Most Carcelia have conspicuously hairy eyes. |

Thank you so much! It looks like the scutellum is a bit more pale than I see on most pictures, but the general idea (and absense of hairs) fits very well. |
