20th of June 2023, I see my first Haematopota sp. male ever. In Kragelund Moor, Vejen, Denmark.
I tried using key in "Families of flies with three pulvilli, 2022", and came to the conclusion that it was H. crassicornis. I reverted back to sp. though soon after.


Now I visited the area again 11th of August, and perhaps on the same fence post, saw yet another male. This time I got better photos. The eyes were all whitish grey at top, while the June observation had some brown mixed into the bit darker grey eyes. Perhaps the same individual?

Stunned to get a nice view of the underside of the eyes.
