Northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Schenefeld near Hamburg, hedge with a drainage ditch between a playground and a field of a nursery school for trees, grown up with bushes like Corylus, Acer sp, Salix and other, at a leaf of Aegopodium podagraria, 8th of May 2019, Outdoorphotos: kuv.
Is my idea – after looking in the Diptera Gallery (but there are only males) – ok? Please help me to get the ID.
