Hello,

to me it looks more like a male of the Tolmerus cingulatus group (general appearence, leg colouring, short arista).

Greetings, Danny Wolff

For jorapavi's information: Machimus = Tolmerus. I would not say it's cingulatus, because the dark rings on the tibia are missing. Also, the genitalia look like those of machimus to me.
Anyway, not really an easy group from a picture, certainly in the 'dark' south of Europe.
