Hello Michael, I think it is Chloromyia formosa (Stratiomyidae).

I'd rather think
Microchrysa polita, a female.

Hello,
that's always good, when people find an agreement :-) I would have been happy, if had recognized the family stratiomyidae.
Dank je wel,
Michael

Chloromyia formosa has much bigger antennas (and straight ones).
