Looks like a Phaonia to me. The dark spots on the abdomen seem distinctive. Can this fly be named?

Size: ~7-8mm
Date: 20 June 2009
Location: Wooden railing around a pond (Helsingborg, Sweden)

Thanks!

The spots are characteristic of Helina in Phaoniiinae, so Helina it is. Looks like Helina evecta/annosa.

Thank you Stephane. I will remember that about the spots.
