I am not sure, if it is lauxaniidae.

Now I remember, I was thinking of Prosopomyia, but that looks quite different. So this may be an Ephydrid or a Drosophilid?

I'd vote for Ephydridae.

Thx for everyone for pointing me to the right direction. I'll try to give it a try to id this better later, as it seems to be pretty distinctive.

Most likely Notiphila aquatica Becker -cheeks narrow, antennae yellow with darkened apical segment, tibiae with black bands, anepisterna with small brown spot and abdomen with fused brown spots. This species is close to N.riparia, riparia has lighter fore tibiae and short brown band on anepisterna instead of spot. Females are variable in both species - here we see female.
