A possible candidate is Limonia flavipes, but your 2nd image shows a yellow apex of the left hind femora - L. flavipes has black apices. Could we see a complete view of the first photo showing all femora of one side?

Thanks André, yes it helps - but only to exclude L. flavipes. I'll keep on searching.

Hi, pretty nice!
Dicranomyia (Dicranomyia) sp. a female from what we see, I'd be pretty interrested by a male!
