Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Fanniidae? Muscidae?

Hi,
Recently I came across a small fly (about 6 mm) with silvery thorax and strong bristles. There are 2+3 DC, but I cannot see that A1 reaches the wing margin, and somehow the fly does not look anthomyiidish. The DC number would fit Coenosia of Muscidae, and also Fanniidae (which are still unfamiliar to me). So can anybody help me with that fly? Many thanks in advance! Location was southwestern Germany, 50 km west of Stuttgart.
