Thank you very much for ID, Nikita.
I searched for the two species in the gallery and the forum and found this comment:

Fore femur infuscated = H.vagans
Fore femur clear yellow = H. nigrimana
I could not find a translation for infuscated, but think it means something like darkened.
I have an old picture from a fly identified as Hylemya vagans which has darker, greyish looking fore femora.
Compared to that one all femora of this fly have a yellowish coloration.
Is it possible to exclude H. vagans?

Here is the picture from H. vagans
