Anthomyiidae (?) with yellow abdomen

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 ? kristobal21 attached the following image: [145.71Kb]

The black pattern on abdomen is very variable (from nearly completely black to missing) Edited by Juergen Peters on 24-01-2021 19:03 Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
