Observed 13/08/23 in foothills of the Dublin Mountains in Ireland.
I first thought this was a mason/potter wasp but head wings etc. say it's a fly and underside is bright yellow.

Other than that I have no idea!

It moved to bird's-foot trefoil nearby.

Hello,

it is Tenthredo notha, arcuata, brevicornis or schaefferi. I don't know, which species of this complex occur in your region. Generally T. notha is the most widespread one, T. arcuata is restricted to mountainous areas.
