- Or could it be Ectophasia oblonga?

In my garden today on Bornholm, Denmark.

This one could indeed be the male Ectophasia oblonga:
Abdomen:
colour more red than yellow
distinctly longer than broad
centre stripe very thin
Thorax:
before scutellum black, only little dusted

Thank you very much.

Could it be an other species?

Ectophasia oblonga is as far as I can se not known from Denmark.

Greetings, Ruth Ahlburg

Yes, it could be E. crassipennis, which is extremely variable. I'm looking forward to read Theo's opinon!

It looks pretty aberrant, but abdomen is too broad for oblonga I'd say and hypopleural bristles are all dark, as far as I can tell, strongly suggesting crassipennis.

Thank you very much.

I have checket the 41 photos, I got of the fly, and where hypopleural bristles are seen, they are dark
