Hello!

A 3 mm yellow legged fly from our housewall last week (northwest Germany). I did not find a match in the gallery. Looks a bit like Platypalpus sp., but without considerably thickened middle legs.

Platypalpus longicornis? The species name fits.

Quite well possible, but there are a few others with similar antennae (e.g., longicornoides)...
