    Sorry Ferdy - changed the ID on this one .... stumbled on it after uploading a true Amphimallon solstitiale:

    Amphimallon solstitiale On a 12th-floor balcony :o) Amphimallon,Amphimallon solstitiale,European June Beetle,Geotagged,Melolonthinae,Netherlands,Scarabaeidae,Summer

    Note the difference in structure of the elytra and overall hairiness etc.
