I would say habitus and habitat is Merodon unicolor Strobl in Czerny & Strobl, 1909. Frequent in Pyrenees. Please compare the key in the download section too. Regards Piet |

Thanks a lot everybody. I compared Merodon rufus and M. unicolor and clearly the male of the latter species is very similar to mine while rufus is not identical. I will put this name unless somebody tell me the contrary, |
