Sorry, bad light (inside an oak forest) so bad photo. The female lack any yellow on abdomen. Male stay "floating" some time.

Can't really see much on this picture, but the antennae are certainly not Dioctria whole shape of creatures is different. B)

I agree: Holopogon species (male abdomen is very similar to H. venustus)

Thanks everybody! Sorry for the delay. Good to have the genus identified (and maybe the species!)
