Found in my garden today. Mid Netherlands. Perhaps Blondelia nigripes?

The depression in the first tergite is too small for Blondelia.

In the key to New World Blondeliini the path to Blondelia passes through this alternative: "Mid-dorsal depression of syntergite 1 +2 extending posteriorly to hind margin of syntergite (variable in some specimens of Celatoria spp. and Compsilura concinnata (Meigen) and in some species of Vibrissina and Eucelatoria)".

In North America the swollen fore tarsi would have me considering Admontia.
