Is an ID possible? All pictures are shot in Germany, Saxony, Chemnitz. The first two picture are from Mai 2004. Is the male fly a Helina sp.?

First two photos look like Helina impuncta, but i have doubt (it seems to have 4 katepisternals)
Maybe Stephane Lebrun can tel more! (expert)
Last one...female Helina depunta.

The male is Helina impuncta, the female is either H. impuncta or H. depuncta (depending on aristal hairs length).
