It's Brachypalpus oarus.
They are not all the same specimen, because the last picture is a female, the other pictures show a male!

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
