Same bog as Hybomitra of other thread. Medium sized some 8 mm I guess. In dry grass between bog and edge of woodland. Despite cold weather difficult to approach.

Againa Drents-Friese Wouden ?
This is Appendicia truncata.
You can very nicely see the appendix to vein M, very unusual otherwise in Ernestiini. In Linnaemyia, the appendix is much longer.

Thanks Theo.
Again DFW, and more to come!
Here are coordinates:
X 217.153, Y 548.392
Is this a typical woodland species, are a bog species? And what about its distribution in Holland?
I'll submit the photo's to the gallery.
