found on 2016-06-19 in a forest near Marburg. So far I have never noticed that a fly does something like bubble blowing at the opposite end of its body...

Hi Ingo,

this is the most typical Tetanocera for forests: T. phyllophora.

Regards

T. phyllophora should have a darkened costal margin...

You are right Stephane.

My intention to write was : This is the most typical Tetanocera for forests: T. hyalipennis. At the same time T. phyllophora is not associated with wood lands. Sorry for this error Ingo.

No problem Piet Nord, yes T. hyalipennis looks much better. And a few years ago I found a couple of this species not far away (see http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=56403). Thank you both for your help!
