I think It's Platystomatidae -> Rivellia syngenesiae

Thank you Manuel! However I am a little bit confused: according to Fauna Europaea it should be absent in Germany... Regards, Ingo

That will be corrected in the next version. It was at least published on paper for Bayern, but I guess it will be all over the place.

Thank you Paul. I saw this species last year here too. So I think it is not very seldom at least here in Hesse. Regards, Ingo

Three days ago I found 5 or 6 couples of this species in copula (at the same location like last year). Maybe somebody is interested in the resulting video:

Yes, another much older report for Hesse (Frankfurt) is given here: Jaennicke, J.F. (1868): Die Dipteren der Umgegend von Frankfurt und Offenbach. - Bericht des Offenbacher Vereins für Naturkunde 9:147
