Could this be the same fly in your previous photo? Definitely a
Eurithia and with narrow vertex too.

I agree, this should be connivens as well
Connivens is in my expercience far more common in Poland than anthophila, which is strange for us westeners, this here it is definitely vice versa.
Maybe connivens is the dominant species in Czech republic as well.
Erikas might fill in the status in Lithuania

Strange isn't it ... here everything is either
anthophila or
consobrina ... we hardly ever see the other species. In fact, if I see any record for
connivens,
vivida,
intermedia or
caesia then I would flag those up for double-checking unless they had been caught by a really good Dipterist. :)

Yes, we have similar situation like in Central Europe, where
E. connivens is much more abundant than other species. All day you can collect almost exclusively
E. connivens, though in some years some other species can be as much abundant, especially
E. anthophila, or
E. consobrina.
