Hello,

This couple was busy at the end of April near Brunssum.
Some sort of Pipizella ?

Hi Ben

Looks more like an Orthonevra to me, hope some real expert can confirm this.
If it is Orthonevra, the species should be geniculata given the date.
Which is an interesting find in itself.

Thank you very much Theo,

Since you called it interesting I took a plunge in my archives and I found a look-a-like from 11-04-2003 at the same location ( near Brunssum but in Germany ).

Yes, I agree with Theo. This is certainly a Orthonevra, and given the date it should be O. geniculata indeed. There is another Orthonevra you can find early in the year, O. brevicornis, but this species has black legs (this one has yellow knees) and rounded antennae, not elongated antennae like this one has! It is indeed interesting because the species is mostly found in swamps. Did you find it there, or in another place?
Greetings,

Hi Gerard,

Thanks for confirming Theo's message.
I saw them at the Teverener Heide, and parts of that area indeed are swampy.
