I am not certain - is this a Camilla species? Or a Drosophilid? I think the cup-cell is absent.
Caught in a vinegar trap in Vienna, mid Feb.

ok, thanks guys!
I am familiar with the genus, but ususally when they are alive. The slender appearance wasn't obvious in this specimen, and the thorax looks uniform, w/o stripes, so I did not consider this a possibility
