Hello!

From today on a tree trunk (northwest Germany). This fly was only about 5-6 mm, with bluish thorax and greenish abdomen. Maybe a Bellardia? Or Melinda? Thanks in advance!

Difficult to see. My frist impression is that of some Muscidae, like Morellia.

Ah, thanks! I had thought, the bend in the M-vein was too strong for a Muscid.
