Hi Paul,

thanks for this effort. So we are making progress.
It is defintely not Blepharomyia nor Phorocera.

I am pretty sure it is the male of Lypha dubia.

Check the lappets on hind spiracle, difficult feature but highly distinctive !

Normally, you can ID this species even with binoculairs by its bronze colouration, but pan traps do not help here


Very common spring species.
