Photographed today in Holland.
Resting, near brambles and rough lands.
Checking all Rhagio species found in Holland I think this is male Rhagio tringarius.
Based on the yellow scutellum and the unmarked wings.

However I see a blue spot on almost the last segment on the body.
What does this blue spot mean?
Is it another species alltogether, or is there another reason for this blue spot?
Can you help me?
The last picture is quite bad, but taken from another angle.
