Hello!

I found this 8-10 mm midge on Sept-26 on a leaf in our garden (northwest Germany). At first I thought of a Trichoceridae, but then I found a picture of Scleroprocta sororcula ((Limoniidae) in one of my books, which looks very similar (also hairy wings) except of the dark, lenghty spots on the wings. So what is it??
