Hi, am I right that this is a female Muscina sp. with the M1 vein only slightly curved and the orange tip of the scutellum?
Maybe Muscina levida? M1 seems to be more curved in the other Muscina alternatives in Germany.

Northern Germany, Hildesheim, 25.02.2025, 76 m, basking in the sun, ~5-10 mm

Female Muscina lepida is correct.
