Hello,
I run across this/these fly(ies) two days ago in our garden (northwest Germany) at my banana baits and at night at light. I'm almost sure, that both are the same individual. About 6 mm in length.

Hello Juergen ,
With the four dorsocentrals with dark spots at their base probably Heleomyza sp. One would probably need collected material to identify the species, preferably a male.
Kind regards,
Ectemnius

Not
Heleomyza. Anterior orbital bristle is shorter than the posterior. It's a
Gymnomus sp. If the abdomen is more grey than should be
caesia species group, if not than a member of the
spectabilis species-group...
BTW
I have never seen a
Heleomyza species with such large dark dots at the base of dorsocentral bristles ;).

Thank you Ectemnius and Andrzej!
It is not readily visible on the photos, but the abdomen seemed more gray, not orange.
