Photo 20-4-2024. On a Deutzia in the Netherlands (Bergen, North Holland). An Ocytata pallipes maybe :|?

I've got a message of Theo Zeegers on a Dutch site that it's on other species. Namely Siphona spec. When I see the long snout I recognize this species, but this time I was wrong. :| Thanks Theo.

Sorry (and thanks to Theo)! I thought the post-angular vein was not visible, but it is. And the antenna is dark...

I should have known better too, Eric. Siphona is quite common in our garden. But this time I didn't recognize it. I should have looked more closely at the post-angular vein indeed. Fortunately, Theo paid more attention. |t
