Are you sure? The frontal dust spots are too large and other details also do not fit (e.g. base of front tibia dark, etc.). I vote for a very dark female of Meliscaeva auricollis. Such specimens are sometimes very confusing but except for the colour they are completely identical with "normal" auricollis.
Cheers,
Dieter

My first hunch was
auricollis too... no, to be honest I am not sure. In fact, I withdraw my hunch. The legs are too dark (also for
albimanus), scutellum has a strange color. It's a strange picture, even this sharp :S
I hope she has more pics for us (or collected it).

Without reading your last posts, I was arrived to the same name, meliscaeva auricollis. That is true that the colours are very strange.
Thank you
