Hi,
found on 04-July-2020 in a nature reserve, dry grassland/calcareous, Germany, Rhineland Palatinate, "Hoellberg" near Bad Kreuznach
It was "dancing" and flapping its wings like I sometimes see with Sepsis, but approximately 1cm, thus much bigger than Sepsis sp. presumably on which its behaviour reminded me.
Can it be further identified?
Many thanks and regards,
Stella

Hi StellaM,
Yes, this is the Ulidiidae Cephalia rufipes. Nice find!
Kind regards,
