Northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Schenefeld near Hamburg, hedge with a drainage ditch between a playground and a field of a nursery school for trees, grown up with bushes like Corylus, Acer sp, Salix and other, at a leaf of Aegopodium podagraria, 8th of May 2019, Outdoorphotos: kuv.
Is my idea – after looking in the Diptera Gallery (but there are only males) – ok? Please help me to get the ID.

Female B. reticulatus !

Note the strong venation in wing.

Date and locality also agree (it would be very late for johannis).

Thank you very much for your express correction Theo Smile.
I've never seen such yellow legs in Bibionidae.

There are no males with such yellow legs, that is why.
