Certainly Hydrellia, but looks more like albiceps than griseola (based on notopleural colour which is usually brown in albiceps and light grey in griseola; and assuming it is one of these two very common species).

Thank you very much, Tony! I have a video of that Hydrellia, too, and in all angles the notopleuron is dark - contrasting to the pale postpronotum. Greetings, Eric Kloeckner |
