I am sure that Theo will correct me when I am wrong, but it appears as if the third antennal segment is short and dark. That leads me to Haematopota crassicornis. Theo?

I'm sorry, Paul, but it is pluvialis. Your features are right, but the colour of antennae is impossible to see in the picture. Crassicornis is a black-and-white species with dark wings, whereas pluvialis is (at least in western Europe) always distinctively yellowish-greenish on the abdomen. Which is a unique feature. Theo |

Well, now you see why I wanted your confirmation!
