Hello,

Thanks,
Michael

Yes, it is a male Hybomitra, most likely aterrima or caucasica.
IF this is it,(no more pictures ?) ......

Hello Theo,
Thank you for your answer. I have some more pictures from slightly different perspectives. What do you need?

More lateral of the head
More dorsal of the abdomen
That might help

Pity we can't see the palps (which are short in males), but given the lack of darkening on the wing I'm pretty sure (though not dead sure) that it is caucasica
