date: 18 Oct. 2023; location: in Hamburg, Germany; on leaves of a scrub at the border of a park with large trees and a pond;
a Sylvicola species? probably Sylvicola fenestralis?
Thank you for any ID comments!
Best regards, Volker

On the first photo you can see that the wingtips are darkened. There are several Sylvicolas with dark wingtips and you can't identify them from photos.

ID impossible without the dissection of the genitalia...

Thanks a lot James and libor!
This is what I expected: species ID impossible using photos. But at least the genus is clear now.
Good to get this comfirmed from experts!
Best regards, Volker
