Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen, 19 April. Definitely Gonia, but what species? Flying over partly vegetated sandy places.

unIDable? Or just escaping attention?

Both.
It is black, so one would guess G. picea.
However, I believe it is a melanistic G. ornata.
Need to have a frontal shot to say more.

OK, here's the most frontal view I shot. Hope it suffices!

Yes, it is a melanistic ornata, as I'd guessed
