I think it is H. pendulus though the orange colour of the abdomen puzzles me.

Size: ~10 - 12mm
Date: 22 August 2008
Location: Dry meadow close to the beach (Helsingborg, Sweden)

Thank you!

No, it's not pendulus. The colors of hind femur/tibia don't match.
(Don't look at the color of the abdomen, it can vary a lot).
This looks to be hybridus.
