 Hello everyone !!!

On 2023-05-06, I could picture this specimen which could be an Epistrophe female.
Is it possible to ID ?

I have no picture of the face ... but scutellum seems to have yellow setae and abdomen seems very special ...

 Hello Didier, it's difficult without a look at the face, but I think it's probably the female Epistrophe melanostoma (hind tarsus not completely dark, scutellum yellow haired, rather broad build).
Greetings, Eric K
