S. punctum should have yellow legs (seems to be ok in yours) and a really golden shining abdomen base (compare http://www.dipter...post_64110) I have several pics of Sepsis individuals with a red-metallic shining abdomen base, and they were all said not to be S. punctum. Another name could not be found out, however...
Regards, Sundew

Thank you for your answers. I will save the picture as Sepsis sp.
