Hello,

for this fly I don't have an idea. Familiy Anthomyiidae? Can genus / species be recognized?

Thanks,
Michael

Hi Micheal.
Small head, strong weapon on the legs - Scathophaga stercoraria. Sometime it visits dung, sometimes - flowers.

Thank you Nikita.

Somehow I always fail to recognize this species.
