Hello!
Sorry, I did not manage to take better pictures :|. I am not even sure about the family. About 4 mm, at light in garden (northwest Germany).

Ups... There are so many Sphaerocerids around at the moment, but I did not think, this was one. Thanks again!

Thanks, Paul! I think, it were the light legs, why I did not think of Sphaeroceridae. I always bear them in mind as small, almost overall black or dark brown flies... But I already had
Sphaerocera curvipes with yellowish legs (at least the females).
