Is this a female Fannia sp? If so, can you suggest a group or a species?

Fannia lustrator female, which can have a dark abdomen (frons narrow + mid and hind femora predominantly yellow).

I would have never guessed. This must be a truly variable species. Thx Stephane, I hope you can comment the other recent difficult threads.

I think the picture 53469.jpg shows a male F. lustrator. I can see the long spine on katepisternum and hook-like bristle on mid coxa. If Nikita agree...
