Scathophagidae; Either Norellia sp. or Norellisoma sp...MAYBE...Norellisoma spinimanum but I'm no expert :|

it's Norellisoma it have two rows of spines on fore tibia. If arista is short plumose it should be spinimanum. But i can't tell. It's best to have male genitalia.
Stuart G. Ball have written a nice Scatophagide key over the british speces it should be somewere on Dipteristsforum

Thanks. I found this key: http://www.dipteristsforum.org.uk/documents/scathophagid%20key%20v3_1.pdf. However referring to Fauna Europae there exist a few other species of the genus in Germany too. Maybe the best way is to describe it as "Norellisoma sp." Greetings, Ingo
