If the hind tibiae are broadened, yes, that would be a possibility.

Then I think that you are on the right track with Leptometopa.

Neither of Leptometopa species from Europe. Could anybody advise any key for North African Leptometopa, please? Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

I was mistaken when keyed this fly. It is Leptometopa latipes, without doubts! Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
