This male was "tophilling" in a forest area in southern Norway, Telemark on 4 June. What species?

Male Hybomitra muelfeldi.
It shows strong hovering behaviour.
Hybomitra are not well known as hilltoppers (but maybe you are the first to observe !)

Thank you so much, Theo! Well, maybe it was not hill-topping but hovering behavior at the top of the hill. ;)
