In an alpine forest near a stream, could this be a Chyliza species? Unfortunately only one good picture.
Allgäu, Bavaria, late June.

Not much can be seen, but I would say Clusiidae.

The bent wing points to Psilidae.

John is right: Psilidae

Could it be Chyliza vittata?

Yellow thorax points to that although usually there is an indication of 'vittae' on the mesonotum as well. ;)

Yes, it is quite uniform. But I do not see any alternative...

I'm probably too late for my comments to be of any value but there's a description at http://micropezid...my/term/67 and a good key is Bygebjerg, R., Munk, T., & Elnif, J. (2011). Chyliza leguminicola Melander, 1920 (Diptera: Psilidae) new to the Palaearctic fauna. Entomologiske Meddelelser, 79(2), 73–84.
Any chance you could post this on iNaturalist at https://www.inatu...tanypezids

Thanks Darwyn, it is always good to get further information and a conformation of the ID.
I do not understand, however, what you mean by posting the observation to the project. It is a collection project that automatically adds observations with the correct parameters, so mine is already included...

Thanks Lorin
I expressed it badly. I should have said "Please put it on iNaturalist so that it appears in project at https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/european-micropezids-tanypezids
"
You have lots of records on there. I was forgetting you are such a prolific user.
I found that record of course.
iNaturalist is proving very popular in Austria at the moment. Most of the Rainieria calceata records are from there and Russia. I wish I could travel there.
Good hunting

Interesting, I noticed the same with the records of Rainieria. I am still trying to figure out if my record of R. latifrons is the first for Austria. Been checking for records of Calobata latifrons Loew, 1870 as well, but so far could not figure out if STROBL found one in Austria or not...
