Found in oak, mixed area near Copenhagen yesterday.
The front foot, brusches and colouring of hindleg seems to fit the pic in gallery.

Can the ID bee confirmed?
Thanks in advance, Ole

D. brevipennis has only one pre-apical bristle on the hind femur, while yours has three. According to my out-of-date British key (Fonseca) it could be
D. claviger, which has the lower post-ocular bristles pale (hard to see in the photos). Best wait for the experts ;)

Aha!
then not brevipennis.
the lower post-ocular bristles seems pale so D. claviger if nothing unexpectet turns up.
Thank you so far, Stephan - sure IŽll wait for an expert. :)
