Was he just mating? Normally the sex organs are folded under the abdomen. Some Dolochopodinae.

No, it was not mating when it landed on the leaf.

Isidro,
To make things complicated: I would not exclude Hercostomus pilifer, which has also largely yellow antennae and a Dolichopus-like cercus. If your specimen has not bristles on its hind metatarsus, it might well be this species. By the way, I have collected this species myself nr Formigal in the Spanish Pyrenees some years ago. Please consider.
Cheers,
Marc
