Does anyone have an idea about this one? I found it on June 9th at Leerdam, Netherlands. Thanks in advance!

Hello, Jan!
It's a Cantharid beetle. Looks mostly like
Cantharis lateralis
but I'm no expert and there are other species with a similar looking colouration.

Thank you very much, Juergen and cthirion! I suspected it was a
Cantharis sp
., but could not find a matching member of this genus. But
lateralis
seems perfectly right!
