It reminds me of
Winthemia variegata but I'd want Theo's views on that :)

The male of Blepharipa pratensis, quite variable.
You can see the Sturmia spot, the comb on tibia 3 and the lacking discal setae

I did not know, they are so variable.
Thanks Theo.

That's an amazing variation - it looks almost greasy - so black and undusted.

There is a second species, schineri, but it lives in pine and spruce forests, it is more orange. But sometimes they are pretty hard to separate.

Pine and spruce forests are in the neigbourhood. (about 700 meter) I have one tree in the garden. But I think that's not anough to be sure.
