Without a lateral picture, I dare not say. Note the very angular inner margin of calypter (“Sturmiini”)

Thanks, Theo

I can't find a complete list of species in Sturmiini (I suppose splitted from Goniini), here:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Undef&id=179458&lvl=3&keep=1&srchmode=1&unlock
The only european genus is Sturmia and the unique species Sturmia bella...
Which other genus could this be ?

I found it more similar to Blepharippa pratensis, which was determined by you from a collected specimen at the same area:

Sturmiini was in “ “, because it is no longer valid and split over bith Goniini and Eryciini.

Sturmia has the scutellum dark and is a late summer species....
Pity we can’t see the hind tibiae.

It does resemble Blepharipa pratensis and it might be this species, but somehow it “does not feel right”.
