Hi everybodies

It's hard this time ! And, when it's hard .. it's interesting !
It's not a Scaeva, because the eyes are bare.
Like says pat_der2003 it could be Epistrophella euchroma (80%) but Melangyna lasiophthalma is possible too (20%).
Have you an other picture where we see color of the antenna or color of wind legs ?
We don't see this species everydays !
