Hello Theo,


the fly was found near a little creek, about 20m away,
and a area of reed with a little bit of water was only 5m away.

Well, it looks like H. solstitialis, except for the dark first antennal segment. 10 % of the males have this feature, so it is unusual but not a no-go. Habitat does support solstitialis.

So not sure, but best shot.

Otherwise it would be an unusually orange muehlfeldi.
