Hi,

I have this marked as ~8mm, I had wondered if it was Epicampocera succincta but I think that is smaller? This appears to have a touch of brown on the abdomen as well as tinted wings.

Only two shots, 4th May, near Lincoln UK.

Seems to be the male of Eumea linearicornis

Thank you Theo, that looks good. I haven't had this one before, or maybe I have an unnamed one from last year. ;)
