Found 23.09.2019 in Rheinzabern, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany near a little stream and the forrest, grassland, length ca. 15 mm.

I'm looking for suggestions

Hello,
I have compared this male of Callicera with the pictures in the gallery of diptera.info and think you are right. Than it is the first one, which is documented in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany.
Not bad...
I hope there is nobody, who has second thoughts.
Thank you very much for your help
Birgit
