Is it possible to tell species from this picture?

Thanks for your help in advance

This could very well be rupium, looking at the shiny tergites. But I don't exclude alpina as well, looking at the curved tibia 3 [and no literature at hand at the moment]. Anyone going for a 100% ID?

Thanks for your comments Andre. I hope that more people will look at this fly.
