Hello forum,
this fly a found on April 22nd 2008 in Hagen (D, NRW). The site is about 175 m above sea level and is characterized by an artificial alder marshland.
I think, it should be
Limnophila punctata. Right? Wrong? Please help!
Best wishes, Josef

Your photo looks very like my specimen of
Limnophila punctata :). However, the UK key by Alan Stubbs includes a non-UK species,
Limnophila arnoudi, that is apparently very similar :@, distinguished on features at the tip of the abdomen and in the genitalia. Fauna Europaea lists
L. arnoudi as present in Germany.
