Nice and suitable Anthomyiidae - to collect and to spend long winter evenings in attempts to ID...

This is not Delia radicum. Males of this species have distinctive setae on hind femur, with short dense ventral setae in basal half. Might be Delia platura, but can't see the hind tibia or mid metatarsus.
