Phasia hemiptera (female). It's hard to confirm the wing venation but the ginger pleural hairs are quite distinctive :)

Thank you, Chris. Apparently, the second photo, which I couldn't upload, and which shows the wing venation better, is not necessary.

Yes, I am happy with the first photo - would be nice to see the second, just in case though :)

Yeah, that's perfect (median vein is petiolate) - female
P.hemiptera - you can even just make out the 'ovipositor'/piercer at the tip of the abdomen :)

Petiolate - nice word. I found you already explained its meaning in another thread.

Perhaps we have met. I've spoken to several people who hadn't seen a short-toed eagle or moorland hawkers. Perhaps you were one of them.

No, because I did see it !
Very early in the morning, flying west.
Apparently it stayed all day near Haulkerwijk, the ******.
So far for the rarer birds.
