Northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Pinneberg-Waldenau near Hamburg, at the edge of the mixed forest Klövensteen, at a metallic railing of a bridge for pedestrians, 6th of September 2020. Outsidephotos: kuv. My idea is
Phyto melanocephala because of the wing venation, but isn't it too grey? Please help to get the ID.

Hi, I think you're right with Phyto melanocephala (the petiole R4+5 is very short) and the frons seems smaller than 1/3 of the head so it might be a male.
