Hello!

This 7 mm Rhamphomyia male visited the light in our garden (northwest Germany) some nights ago. Is a further ID possible? Thanks!

Top image is another species. Last images are R. crassirostris, top belongs to sulcata group. [Compare genitalia of top and bottom images.]

Thanks, Paul! I thought, they were all the same species, because I did not see two individuals at the same time. But it is possible, I did make my tour through the garden in between the shots.
