Not
Linnaemyia I think - the mouth edge isn't protruding forward enough. But then, I can't think what it could be either - too anonymous for me but maybe Theo can help? :)

Well, I see a strongly curved M-vein, only 3+3 DC and a curved abdomen, so I'm simply thinking
(and strong bristles ascending on facial ridge)
female Phorocera obscura ?

Can it not be rather Parasetigena silvestris?

Well, if we agree that there are only 3 post DC, it must be Phorocera.

There are 3 DCs for sure. But I think some of the images determined earlier as P. s. also have only 3 DCs. I'll have to recheck this in my gallery.
Theo thx for your help with this and other threads. In the winter I try to organize my collection a bit, and come back to your offer in one of the earlier threads.
