Hi Bernd, I think it's one of the Mycetophilidae, a female? Greenomyia mongolica.
Greetings, Eric

Hi Eric, thanks for identifying the mosquito. You can find almost nothing about this mosquito on the Internet. Is it rarely spotted?

Best regards,
Bernd

did you probably mistype the name? In Google many hits occur (and I found that species myself these days and earlier).
Best regards,
Jürgen
