Hydrotaea ignava, with the forehead ?

Christian, it is neither Hydrotaea nor Azeliini.
I suspect Limnophora, check hairs on the node R4-5

Thank you very much Nikita for your answer.

Here is a picture showing the node R 4-5
I see one hair on the node.
I hope it will be possible to goto the species.

Thank you by advance.

Best regards.
