Hello all,
I trust this is Parahelophilus, either versicolor or frutetorum. Is there a way to decide which one, in that case ?

Thanks for your help

A closer view of the face. And, by the way, i think it is a female, right ?

Yes, a female Parhelophilus.
Versicolor and frutetorum females look very much alike, and it's almost impossible to identify them from a picture.
So female Parhelophilus sp.
