Hi Appie, this is a Robber Fly (Asilidae). Here is some nice Dutch info for you to try and identify it:

This is actually a Bee-Mimic Robberfly! It does a really good job, doesn't it? :D I'd look towards the Laphria genus maybe? (Edit: Arp, you beat me to it!)

Also note that you did not share any location info. You are asked to at least share the country in which the photo was taken, since this helps in identifying the species. You can set the country using the "Set country" button. Even better is to geotag the photo, which you can do using the "Geotag this photo" button.

Note that by sharing your photo with more complete details, it will show up in the species browser, the global wildlife map and in search. It helps people find your photo much better, plus it delivers a far more educational photo. Check out our photo sharing tutorial for more information:
