Back to the fly:
given the locality and time, it's most likely L. fortisetosa.

Back to the fly:

Theo, your expanation badly requires!
I have two keys old for European Russia and new for Far East, with same two species both.
European key - L.cervi 6-9 ac and more prescutellar setae, L. fortisetosa - 3-4 ac less prescutellar setae. L.cervi
Far East key - L. fortisetosa has large and shining black spots between ant., L.cervi has not or not clear. Nothing about chaetotaxi.
L. fortisetosa.

OK, I was just guessing, based on the period of flight.
Fortisetosa flies from june - august, cervi from august - october.
Given the first set of features (from Bei-Binko), which are mine as well, this clearly is L. cervi. Very early one.
You should have fortisetosa as well. It is very common in Lithuania near the Russian border !

1. At least you show me that situation is not as clear as it seemed. I'll check in Museum next Monday.
2. 3-4 years ago when I wasn't entomologist yet I remember an autumn with a lot of Hippoboscid. Last 2 year there weren't. It seems that this year I will get enought:D

Ugh, last fall war terribly in southern Finland. The 'moosefly' as we call it was so numerous that I had to hide in my own net while walking through a forest with plenty of deer and moose.
