Hello,

a 6-7 mm fly last night at a garden shed, northwest Germany. Mycophaga testacea?

(Sorry, no more pictures.)

I could be wrong, but I think this is Heleomizidae......

Thanks, Johanna! That was my first thought, too. But then I estimated it too big for Heleomyzidae and lacking those conspicuous spines at the wing margins (it surely has small ones).

I will change the title.

Tribe Heleomyzini! Do you have any lateral views?

Thank you.

No, sorry, this is the only photo :|.

I only have pictures of a similar fly from the next day, by day on our dustbin. But I'm afraid, no latereal views either...
