Hello!

Many small (all about 5 mm) Anthomyiids resting in the low vegetation in our garden tonight (northwest Germany). Here a male. Could it be Delia platura?

Certainly not D. platura. My guess would be Lasiomma seminitidum (Short hairs on the eyes, 3 av on t3, costa setulose below - please check on full-res images.)

Thank you! I am not sure, if I interpret "costa setulose below" correctly. Here an uncompressed picture (172 KB).

No, it's not clear. I'd keep the 'cf' ;)
