 I pictured this specimen today 2022-03-21 in my garden (Belgium , Wanze).
Is it a Fannia ?

 No, it's not a Fannia. The subcosta is not similarly straight.

Yes, This seems to be Hydrotea

On the french forum for insects, I read that Hydrotea with white calypters is ID as Hydrotea capensis, is this true ?

Is it what I see (the white calypters) on this picture ?

 Excuse me I made a mistake with this observation and deleted accidentally the pictures. I had to re upload them. So now everything is correct !

Here is an other one that could help for the ID. Thank you both again and accept my apologies ...
