date: 3 March 2021; location: in Hamburg, Germany, in my garden on a locker leaning at the house wall;
Limonia nubeculosa? (quite early, isn't it?)
Thanks a lot for ID help!
Best regards, Volker

Hi Volker, I think this is Limonia hercegovinae based on pattern of wings and femora (but I'm not an expert).

Thanks a lot, Eric, for your ID help!
I'm sure that this is an expert answer ;-). Thank you also for the link to the cranfly-website.
For L. nubeculosa the third dark band on the femora is missing, but that looks much better for L. hercegovinae.
I attach another picture, where the details of wing pattern is more clearly visible.
Best regards,
Volker
