Unfortunately I got only one chance to photograph this fly (yesterday, at Leerdam, Netherlands). Just a side view, so I guess it will be a mission impossible to identify it. But who knows. Could it be a member of the Muscidae family, perhaps?

Thanks in advance!

I think it must be, though the angle of this shot makes it difficult to see the bend in vein M very well. It look s very similar to the fly in http://www.dipter...post_13937 which Kahis suggested was Muscina stabulans, and I don't think it can be anything else.
