Good afternoon,

here are two pictures from May 2021 with the request for identification help.

Body length approx. 7 mm, habitat sandy dry grassland in southwest Germany.

Unfortunately I could not take a dorsal picture.

Thank you for your help.

Leucophora. Larvae are kleptoparasites of ground-nesting bees.
