Hello!

This one is from May-08 at our house (northwest Germany), length about 10 mm. I don't know into which family I should put it...

Thanks (also for your comment on the blue Rhamphomyia). Limoniidae are very numerous in all forms and sizes at the moment, but for this one I was not sure. I missed the typical long "neck".
