Pipizella, in a garden of NW Germany it is surely P. varipes.

Sorry for my error. I should have known it better. Sometimes I dig out the old names which I learned first.
It might be the corresponding female. Unfortunately the quality of this and other of your picture making it quite difficult to identify characters or finally the species.
Best regards
Piet

no problem, same for me here.

Thanks! I know the problem. My camera is old, and I am a total photo laymen (even more than with insects Wink), photographing freehanded. And if there is wind or my hands are shaking (like often...), then it is not possible for me to get sharp pictures in focus Frown. Sorry, I (and you) have to live with it...
