Northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Schenefeld near Hamburg, hedge with a drainage ditch between a playground and a field of a nursery school for trees, grown up with bushes like
Corylus, Acer sp, Salix and other, at a leaf of
Aegopodium podagraria, 8th of May 2019, Outdoorphotos: kuv.
Is my idea – after looking in the Diptera Gallery (but there are only males) – ok? Please help me to get the ID.

Female B. reticulatus !
Note the strong venation in wing.
Date and locality also agree (it would be very late for johannis).

Thank you very much for your express correction Theo :).
I've never seen such yellow legs in Bibionidae.

There are no males with such yellow legs, that is why.
