One of the important means to identify the fly is the chaetotaxy, or the arrangement of bristles on the animal. On your pictures important parts are not good visible. But another German familiar with the species in your area might have a clue just by the colouring of the legs for instance... In my area in the Netherlands i would think of M. arthriticus but for that species the colour of the bristles on back and legs is wrong.
