Hello,
I found this fly with a red spot on frons sitting head-down on a big mushroom (Coprinus comatus). It flew away and disappeared after the first picture. One and half an hour later I went back, found a fly on the same mushroom and took some more pictures. It was exactly the same fly, as can be seen by comparing the small injuries of wings.
Is it a Mycophaga testaea?
Thanks, Marion

Could it be a Pegomya?

Mycophaga has plumose arista. Arista seems to me bare.

Thank you for answer, Nikita.
I looked again for all pictures, but could also not see any hint for a plumose arista. Unfortunately, I do not have photos with better resolution. Is it a Pegomya or are there further similar looking candidates attracted by Coprinus comatus?

Best wishes, Marion
