Hello!
This 8-10 mm fly came to the light in our garden yesterday night (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Is this
Scatophaga suilla again? Thanks in advance!

Juergen, I think it is S. lutaria.
Compare with my S. lutaria (ID - Andrey Ozerov, West Turkey, 20 Dec).

Thank you very much! I did not know that species, yet. I was not very convinced of my
S. suilla assumption (only because it had the reddish antennae like it). The colouring, especially of the legs, seemed different. But it does match your photo of
S. lutaria quite well!
