Many thanks Paul.

So far R.calceata not yet recorded for Moscow region. I think it is R.latifrons (Loew), known from this regoin.
 
Paul Beuk
How to distinguish between the two?

According Ozerov this species are not easy to distinguish. Some difference is in colour of fore legs.

I had a phone conversation with Ozerov. He just collected again in Moscow park R.latifrons. He told that the best character is hind basitarsus - R.calceata - dark, R.latifrons - whitish.

Earlier I looked at the colour of the hind basistarsus in your picture, but they are out of focus and leave an ambiguous impression: one appears to be paler than the other. Wink
