Short proboscis, no fork in R4+5 -> Rhamphomyia. Rather broad femora and tibiae with fringes on hind leg well visible, combined with the early date, make me believe it is Rhamphomyia (Rhampomyia) sulcatella.

that was my first thought, too - before I clearly saw the fork on pic #3. Or what is it? awkward Because of overlapping wings?
