Hello, dear experts,
on July 2 these pictures were taken in a rural, sandy area with a barley field, a small creek, a row of poplar, and pasture, outside the village of Bantikow in Brandenburg, Germany.
The fly is about 8 mm long.
Is an identification possible?
With hopeful thanks!
Hans

Fore tarsus looks with 4-5 segments modified, black. If so, the male keys to
Sciapus albifrons (Meigen). See Grichanov I.Ya., Negrobov O.P. 2014. Palaearctic species of the genus Sciapus Zeller.
