On 2nd January 2025 I took pictures of this hydrellia species in Den Helder, The Netherlands. Can someone please identify it? Thanks a lot. Greetings, Mario Renden

Not all of the diagnostic characters are visible, but if we assume that this is probably a common species, it is most likely H. albiceps (= maura and modesta). In this species, and the equally common griseola, the mid-femur lacks a row of posteroventral bristles. However in albiceps the notopleuron is at least partly brown, like the dorsum, whereas in griseola it is evenly grey, contrasting with the dorsum.

Dear Tony and others,

I have added some pictures of a mid-femur to hopefully make identification species level possible for 100%. Thanks a lot.

Greetings,
Mario Renden

Mario - assuming that is the left mid-femur, it's clear that the posteroventral row is absent, so I'm quite confident that is is albiceps. (To be more confident, it would be best to see the genitalia of a male.)
