Hello,

does not look like Phaonia pallida. I think, this is a Pegomya species (Anthomyiidae).

Thank you very much Jürgen :) - Yes, Anthomyiidae is the better choice; so I'll change headline ...

One more try: I think my photo Nr. 3 looks like the picture in the Diptera Gallery https://diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=9376. Is my new idea "Pegomya testacea" ok?

Seems correct!
There is however a very similar species....Pegomya prisca(Michelsen), but only known from Sweden, Czech.Rep, and Slovakia til now..
Genital preparation is needed to separate those two species.
Just save this one as Pegomya testacea (more common species)....and maybe you can collect some specimen in the future.
