Yes, the smooth bent of vein M suggests Muscidae. A female Dasyphora sp.

thank you Stephane and Theo,

Yes, I was thinking about Muscidae, but I could not see it's postsuteral bristles clearly..
Looking for a second time, I can see there are some bristles missing there.

If this is a Dasyphora sp., it will be Dasyphora albofasciata (Macquart in Webb & Berthelot, 1839) This is the only Dayphora sp. in the Netherlands (due to the Dutch speciesindex):

Am I right? or am I right? Smile

No, it is not Dasyphora albofasciata (no presut ac). It's either D. penicillata either D. pratorum.

Thanks Stephane!

The index must be incomplete I think.. Sad

I will call it Dasyphora sp. and put the option D. penicillata either D. pratorum in the footnoot.
