I took this picture in Szeged, S. Hungary, on 18. 04. 2012. I think it is Myolepta obscura male, because of the long hairs at the posterior of the scutellum and the narrow black stripe on the face. Can someone confirm or correct this ID? (Unfortunately, I have only this picture.)
Thanks in advance!
Henrik

Hmmm, my first idea would be Brachypalpus, but difficult to see....

Yes, I understand why Brachypalpus comes to mind, but shouldn't it have a long, light colored arista and a very thick hind femur?
