Hi,
I identify this species as
Xylota triangularis, first time I think of observing this species.
You confirm ?
Capture in Charente (France)
Best,
Benoît

I haven't seen
X. triangularis myself, but the photos in
https://observati...0/photos/? look rather different - e.g., there are no conspicuous yellow spots on the abdomen and the hind tibiae are much paler. Could this male not belong to
X. abiens? Among the species with 4 yellow spots it is the one with the darkest hind tibiae, as I read in
https://www.flick...477168354/. However, we need experts' opinion!
Regards, Sundew

Sundew,
Indeed, it looks much more like
X. abiens!
Thank you very much for this information, I must have been wrong in some criteria...
Benoît
