It's a Gonia - and from what I can see probably a
Gonia vacua.

Hello Alenka, I was not sure because I could not see whether the black stripe on the abdomen is pointed at tergite 5 and I don't have much experience with
Gonia species.
So I'm happy that Theo has confirmed
Gonia vacua.

The black vitta narrows towards the abdominal apex and there is very little pruinosity on tergites.
Vacua used to be very rare in western Europe, but in recent years it has strongly incresed. It is, for instance, common in the french Ardennen. Period of flight is late .... for a Gonia.
