Hello,
Found two days ago in Eindhoven (NL), rather small, about 6mm.
Best wishes,

Chris, I think it is
Cyzenis albicans.

It's possible - which features gave you that idea? :)

Well, it seems it has only one proclinate or. (1st picture) + habitus + typical spring species too.
Lypha dubia has a more concave deflection of vein m, not so large antennae, several strong ad on mid tibia, and a bronze tinge, usually.

Thanks Stephane ... as specimens I have no problem (especially since I found that
Lypha is in the Polideini in the USA) but in photos I always have trouble because I see them so rarely in the field. :)

"Gestalt" Chris, "Gestalt"! ;)
Cyzenis albicans, no doubt. The season is far here in Hessen. I´ve gotten
Kirbya moerens, Phryno vetula, Cyzenis jucunda, Tachina lurida and
Lypha dubia by now.
Happy Easter!
