Hello!
I needed a long time searching this little (2,5-3 mm) animal among the Empididae and Hybotidae in the gallery - the one that mostly resembled it, was the last one of all... ;):
Trichinomyia. Is that correct? Visited the light tonight in our garden (Ostwestfalen/Germany).

Hi,
Trichinomyia flavipes (female) is correct.
Regards,
Igor

Thanks! I as a layman can't decide, who's wrong or right ;), but as I wrote,
Trichinomyia seemed to resemble my fly the most...

Hi Juergen,
The shape of the wing basal cells clearly indicates that your image is Hybotidae not Empididae (Rhamphomyia).
Please take a look:

All the best,
