Dilophus. Related to Bibio which has different ornaments on the front tibia.

John, you are a real Magister. |t

I Rejected Bibionidae because of the wing venation. Just looked different to me. :|

Thanks!!!

Most probably Dilophus bispinosus according to the spines on anterior tibia.

Good evening Colobo!

Thank you for the probable species. |t Good to know that the spines are an important characteristic.
