I'm quite unsure about this Ectophasia (collected 12th July 2021, Bleckede, Niedersachsen, Germany).
Is it possible to identify it from the given photos?

It is either female crassipennis or oblonga, the former much more likely. We would need to see a lateral shot of the ovipositor to be sure.

Thank you, Theo.
I add a lateral shot - I find it difficult to recognize the structures shown by Tschorsnig & Herting (2005) in this specimen.
In contrast to this case (https://diptera.i..._id=103466), where I think it is E. oblonga.
