Hi,
can someone identify this fly's family (or even more)? Is it, eventually, Empidae?
Found on a meadow near a deciduous forest in Mohrkirch, Schleswig-Holstein, Northern Germany. 2013-05-30, 20h.
Thanks a lot!

Greetings,
Lennart

Maybe Empis trigramma?

Thanks for your idea, Jürgen! Looks quite similar indeed.
