It is not about experts, it is about arguments.

Phryxe has a strong prae-alar bristle, hairy eyes and discal bristles on tergites. 3 x disagreement.

The wing venation is non consistent with Voria. Though it is close.
So in that case once instantly has to consider Exorista.
The abdominal pattern is highly characteristic (in central Europe) for Exorista larvarum. A late summer species from meadows and heaths.

So that is what it is: female Exorista larvarum.
