Found last week in 48599 Gronau, Germany, on the foil of a hay bale, lying on a meadow. 6-8mm.
Thankyou

Those 'thorns' are just strong costal setae with mostly one longer one just before the subcostal break.
(just google on those terms).
I can't say much more about this fly (important characteristics are not visible) than to confirm it is indeed a female Anthomyiidae.
