Chloromyia formosa?
Nikita Vikhrev
Rus., Kursk reg, 21 July (second trip to north stepGrin)
Is it Chloromyia formosa?

Stephane Lebrun
Or speciosa ?
Hind basitarsus seems fairly paler than tibia and I guess dark hair above antennae.
These are the characters Tony's cited in former threads.
Difference between these two species is not easy thing anyway...
Stephane.

Really, Stephane, not an easy case - hair above antennae - black, hind basitarsus has same color as tibia Shock
I'll come back to this post after expert's ID...
