It was about 3-4mm long, the final part of the abdomen is curved.
Big red eyes on 3/4 of the face.

Wing veins tell it's Platypezinae and the hind tarsus does'nt fit Protoclythia.
so there are Polyporivora, Platypeza, Paraplatypeza and Lindneromyia left

Thanks for your help!

Now I saw every specie in the list and seem to be one of them:

Polyporivora ornata
Platypeza consobrina
Paraplatypeza atra (not sure about the wings)
Lindneromyia dorsalis (first choice)

Thanks to all ...
