Northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Schenefeld near Hamburg, walking path along the rivulet Düpenau, bushes like Rubus, Corylus, Acer, Salix and other; 7th of June 2023. Photos: kuv.
Is my idea - after reading in the book "Families of flies with threes pulvilli", Zeegers & Schulten, 2022 - ok? Please confirm or correct my ID.
Greetings Kuv

there is a strong apical notch at apex of furst antennel segment, so I’d say H. pluvialis.

H. pluvialis: Thank you very much Theo Smile.
I thought that the red third antenna segment is the leading role for ID.
But ok - perhaps next time.
