5 May 2007, The Netherlands, Dwarsgracht.
In my database as T. autumnalis, but is this possible in may?
Perhaps an other species?

May is fine for
T autumnalis. I've recorded them in May and your specimen looks like
T autumnalis to me.

I agree.
the fifth of may is very early, though.
A new record. Congratulations.

By the way Klaas, since you appear to be living in the Wieden_area: be end of April - beginning of May on the lookout for Hybomitra. Those are likely to be H. lurida, very early species (to Tabanidae-standards, that is).
