Northern Germany, Schenefeld near Hamburg, hedge near a small lake, grown over with uncultivated plants, photos: kuv (only from this angles), 26th of June 2016.
After looking to the Diptera Gallery it looks like Lonchoptera lutea. Right? Please help for ID.

Setae on the legs are out of focus so I cannot tell which species.

In the region of Schnenefeld up to six Lonchoptera should occur. Of these I would exclude L. scutellata and tristis by general appaerance. L. bifurcata, fallax and nitidifrons have a brighter scapus as the specimen shown here. Finally only L. lutea is left. Based on the sexual dimophism of wing venation in Lonchoptera it is a female.
