It seems to me a female of Brachypalpoides lentus but not for sure.

Thanks for any help

Greetings

Hello Manuel,

B. lentus has entirely black legs. Then only Xylota remains. The thick and long row of bristles together with the red abdomen lead to: Xylota segnis.

Ok Ectemnius, thank you very much. Really, I knew Xylota segnis, but this fly seemed strange to me. Now it's very clear with your explanation.

Greetins :)
