Hello, I found this fly in Voorthuizen, the Netherlands. Perhaps this is a Bibionidae species? Is a closer ID possible?
Bye, Niels-Jan

To me it looks like Bibio lanigerus, I think.

I thought the wing stigma should be less distinct there.

I was thinking on B. lanigerus because Theo said recently that "Bibio johannis is completely black haired".

And so it is.
So this is lanigerus, the atigma might be dark due to the flash.
