Hi, today 2019-07-14 on Eryngium planum: Abdmonen is yellow/black - only the halteres are green. Is it Odontomyia angulata though?
Thanks a lot for ID!

Hi Paul, I've read in the "Veldtabel wapen- en bastvliegen, Menno Reemer", that the antenna should be completely dark. Here only the tip is black. Is it hydroleon though?
Thanks, Eric

I get your point. The head says
angulata, the abdomen says
hydroleon, what to do next? Of course, you collected the specimen? :D

Of course not :) But I took more photos and some videos. Can any details help? I send some aspects from the videos:

Length of antenna says hydroleon. Colouration, esp. in females, can be very variable.
