Hallo!
Bavaria, 10.Mai
This fly was about 6mm long, at a forest. I only have two pictures, the second picture is nearly the same as this one.
First I thought about
Helina. Jürgen Peters thought it's
Phaonia (
tuguriorum?)
Regards,
Dennis

It has the appearance of a female
Hydrophoria (Anthomyiidae).

Hallo Niels-Jan!
So, we have 3 possible genus. Its difficult without a picture from above. I think the wings have no marks, like
Phaonia and
Helina.
Regards,
Dennis

On the chaetotaxy of the front leg alone, I don't think this is
Phaonia or
Helina - much more likely to be an anthomyiid such as
Hydrophoria
