male of Bibio clavipes!
Volker Achterberg
date: 08 Oct. 2023; location: in Hamburg, Germany, in a park area close to a small lake;
a male of a Bibio species: B. longipes or B. clavipes?
Can anybody help with the correct ID?
Thanks and best regards, Volker

But I do - supported by a nice paper of Theo Zeegers Wink

It's Bibio clavipes:

Pterostigma overschrijdt subcosta: nee (betrouwbar)
Vleugel man: melkwit (betrouwbar)

From:
de zwarte vlieg bibio longipes, een late herfstsoort, by Theo Zeegers
in: Nederlandse Faunistische Medelingen 48 - 2017

Greetings, Eric Kloeckner

Thanks a lot, Eric and Theo!
Great, that the species ID could be clarified.
Best regards, Volker

Whoah, who is this guy from this key ?

Now, for serious

the milky wing is very conspicuous in the field, but very tricky to assess from pictures, in my experience.
On the right wing in the first pic the stigma crosses the vein, or so it seems.
