Hi, these couples - like some more - were found at Ansbach, Frankenhoehe Nature Park, old deciduous forest, 2020-05-06, and I've keyed these as Bibio reticulatus with transparent wings and dark veins, yellow venter...
(Zeegers, Haarto, Verbeke, Loew)
I'm a bit confused about the length and density of the male's hairs.

Greetings, Eric
