Leaving out a whole spectrum of genera in between, I'm sure, but struggling to distinguish Anthomyia and Limnophora. I think the spiny hind-tibiae should put this in the region of Anthomyia?

It may be close to Anthomyia amoena. Several species, including one in a different species group, share that color pattern.
