It is a female, so this is difficult from this picture. Let's evaluate the different species, that is often easier in this group

* female helluo is more yellow on abdomen, I'd say.
* arista seems inconsistent with pellucens (but difficult to see)
* clearly no white hairs on pleuron, so no sola.

This process of exclusion would then suggest continua.

By no means sure !

Wow, really impressive Theo!

I add a zoom of the arista if it could help, anyway your explanation is enough.
