I'm interested to know what this is too, I had the same fly! My pics are not quite as good.
Look at Diastatidae in the gallery, Diastata costata looks close but the pics are not easy to see.
Same pics on this site with a face view..

Diastata cf.
fuscula, but cannot be certain it isn't
flavicosta.

Hi, Janet and Paul!
Thanks a lot! I must admit, that I didn't even remember, that I had that family already... :S I'm afraid I also missed Pauls reply on that old thread. Sorry!
According to "Entomofauna germanica"
D. flavicosta does not occur in Germany (only
adusta,
costata,
fuscula,
nebulosa,
ornata and
vagans - but the check list is 7 or 8 years old), so it would be
fuscula?

Best chance of it being
fuscula, especially because
flavicosta appears to be a more northern species.
