Hi Robert,

Maybe I could better let the experts reply, but I think this might be Dioctria atricapilla.

Indeed, I think this is "Ol' Blue Eyes". :)

Thank you Jan and Paul,

You diserved again 'the plume' :p
I was not aware of the existence of so many robberflies in my surrounding.

greeting Robert,
