Well, it's certainly a Bibio sp. ... I wouldn't call it "amazing" it looks fairly normal  I also wouldn't like to put a name to it though - I can't see enough to even run it through the British key.  |

Amazing when first seen, but quite typical for male Bibio, as far as I can tell, this should be Bibio johannis, the earliest spring species Theo Zeegers |
