C. interrupta.

The broad black sublateral vittae are characteristic.

Theo, I see no discal bristles on tergites 2-4 as said on Tschorsnig key ?

Maybe you are right. Difficult to see, the pic is not razorsharp and the angle of view not ideal. I didn’t see apical scutellars either, but they just might be there.

I tend to agree. Intermedia usually has more clear darkening along the front margin of the wing, that is why I rejected this option previously.

OK, so I spent my rainy evening working on Cylindromyia: definitely auriceps.
