Thank you in advance.

Anthomyidae family, I think.

Perhaps a female
Anthomyia pluvialis ... just guessing.

Eustalomyia hilaris (Anthomyiidae). A bit like
Anthomyia, but larger and with a central stripe on the back. Among the central European species
E. hilaris is easily identified by the round spot at the end of the stripe.

I suppose this is a female. Does the male
E. hilaris have this pattern too?
