I would even hazard to suggest Bibio clavipes. Important features are the clear to white-looking wings, pale pterostigma, shining notum (i.e. generally lacking wrinkled appearance) narrow femora and tibia, especially in the hind legs, setae on pluerae (thoracic and abdominal) white (only just visible in the photos).

That was my impression as well. We can easily check, crex, spring or autumn pictures ? Theo |

That confirms it. B. clavipes is one of the very few autumn Bibio's. Theo |
