It's an Antho, a nice male Leucophora, in personnata group (probably L. unistrita but need Michael knowledge).

Thank you Stephane.
I changed the title.

Based on your idea i looked further,
and perhaps Leucophora obtusa is also a candidate ?
That species has in males a longspined abdomen and has 'several rows of upwardly directed setae at lower margin of gena'.

But i don't find that species in the checklist for the Netherlands!

Yes, possible, I prefer to wait for Michael opinion.

Perhaps it missed his attention!

If Michael still comes across your male, it would be nice to hear also his opinion about my female (http://www.dipter...post_92670)! It might be another species, though.
