Hello!
A 6 mm fly on
Anthriscus sylvestris near forest (northwest Germany). I'm not sure, whether it is a Calliphorid or perhaps a Tachinid.

Thanks! That was my first thought, too, but then I rejected it. They are frequent here on umbellifers, but I only found them in midsummer, yet. According to my records findings date from end of June to early September.

Epicampocera has two generations yearly, so that explains the lot.

Ah, thanks! So the first generation seems to be much smaller here.
