Hello,

a 7-8 mm fly at my fruit bait in our courtyard yesterday (northwest Germany). Unfortunately only this photo.

[Edit:] Maybe Phormia regina?

My impression is Chrysomyinae. I don't know if it's Phormia.

Thanks, John! In Germany we seem to have only Phormia, Protocalliphora and Protophormia in the subfamily Chrysomyinae.

More opinions? Or is just this one photo too bad?
