This specimen was collected in same area where I've found H. bigoti before: https://diptera.i...d_id=74233

To me it seems that most of the characteres fit well with that species, except for one. The scape seems to be very dark and I'm not sure if I see any red.
Is it really H. bigoti despite the dark scape?

location: Aveiro, Portugal

Yes, it is bigoti. the colouration of the scape is very variable, and you can senthe slightest of pinkish at the base.
