It resembles the one that was identified as Thereva auarata earlier, but maybe there are similar species around. See http://www.dipter...ead_id=477.


Resembles, yes, but not identicatal by a long shot. Unless you consider that these variations in "fluffiness" and "fur color" are witnin acceptable bounds. Before posting my message I had examined the Thereva pictures on diptera.info, and discarded the aurata hypothesis.
Well, there we are then, without a conclusive identification.

Thanks a lot, nevertheless, Paul.
