14.05.21, Germany south west, wet meadow.
Perhaps B. reticulatus or B. johannis?

Happy new year Lars, I'll try it:
The wings are yellowish/brownish which excludes reticulatus and johannis. If the halteres are black (I'm not sure), it could be a female lanigerus which lost most of it's hair.

Things are never simple in female Bibio, do a forum search to find very extensive coverage of the subject.
But wing venation does suggest reticulatus and the date supports this view (unless it is from higher altitudes)
