Hello!

A Doli from our garden last night (northwest Germany). Could this be Dolichopus ungulatus?

Sorry, Stefan. It is certainly Dolichopus ungulatus:
Mid and hind femora each with 2-5 subapical setae (Pic #3).

Igor, there are no dorsal setae on hind basitarsus present, therefore it is not Dolichopus.

The setae are visible on 1st two pics as short diffused spikes because they are directed right towards the camera. M vein is also characteristic for Dolichopus.
