Northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Pinneberg-Waldenau near Hamburg, between a housing estate and an edge of the mixed forest Klövensteen, nearby a little pond for fishing, at the metallic railing of a footbridge (beneath birchtrees, pinetrees and oaks); 18th of October 2022; photos: kuv.
Checking the Diptera Gallery and some threads I think T. simplex is a candidate. Is my idea ok? Please ID help.

Hi kuv, I dont't think it's a Thricops simplex - see https://diptera.i..._id=103509

Instead it's probably a female Helina impuncta (1-3 ac prst, 3-4 dc post, antennal base orange, tranverse veins darkened...).
Greetings, Eric
