This one could indeed be the male Ectophasia oblonga:
Abdomen:
colour more red than yellow
distinctly longer than broad
centre stripe very thin
Thorax:
before scutellum black, only little dusted

Thank you very much.

Could it be an other species?

Ectophasia oblonga is as far as I can se not known from Denmark.

Yes, it could be E. crassipennis, which is extremely variable. I'm looking forward to read Theo's opinon!

It looks pretty aberrant, but abdomen is too broad for oblonga I'd say and hypopleural bristles are all dark, as far as I can tell, strongly suggesting crassipennis.
