Thank's Paul. I must find a useful key somewhere. These belong still to the grey area in my knowlege :(

The British Handbook by Pitkin is a nice entry point for the family.

It's Copromyzinae yes and hind tibial ventral apical spur is missing but .... it has two pairs of long setae on scutellum, so no Lotophila atra :(
