Thank you, Jonne

Yes, you are probably close. I should feel ashamed as Didysmachus picipes is the most common robberfly species in my region. I let myself to be misled byt the overall impression.

However, there is one difference between D. picipes and this specimen - conspicuous yellow bristles on the front tibia. As for ovipositor, there are black bristles on the ventral side, which I cannot see in my pictures f D. picipes females. Maybe some Dysmachus? There are eleven species of them in the Slovak checklist.
