Great photos, but no experts at the moment. Theo Zeegers is the one, but he is not active in the forum at the moment. So stay patient :).

I'm back.
I see your point, but I have strong doubts.
The antenna is clearly slightly orange, the abdomen unusually reddish for cordiger and it seems I see an eyeband (do I?).

Did you collect it ?

No, i didn't...
In the same area i found this female.
She belongs to the same species? Now if no cordiger which can be?

thanks!
