Here is another Hybomitra from SW Sweden 26/5 - and not nitidifrons I think. There are smaller red patches on tergit four too. Thankful for help!

Regards

The same species. See robust palpi and small shining patch under lower frontal callus.

Are you thinking about another species, Theo?

I did not have a definitely opinion.
nitidifrons always has black hairs on tergites, in my experience.
So distinguenda was not ruled out,mas far as I was concerned, although the date strongly favoured nitidifrons. The palpus in focus confirmed this, so I agree.
