The first photo demonstrates how the identification from only one picture can be tricky. This picture did not show spotted mesonotum, on the other hand there were slight "shadows" on transverse veins. Thank you for making the second photo of apparently the same specimen. Now I agree that the fly is D. hydei. Btw, having only the second photo, one could believe that this fly has black wings :)
