Hi Jürgen, this is a female Ectophasia - probably the female to your male (-2). A strictly lateral view of the abdomen would help.

Hallo Jürgen, it's not lateral enough:
E. crassipennis https://www.dipte...to_id=9112
E. oblonga: https://www.dipte...to_id=8674
And as Theo kindly corrected: your male is crassipennis.

oblonga has never been seen in the vicinity of Juergens garden, though it does occur in eastern Germany.

Any claim of oblonga from western Germany should be well documented !!
