Thread subject: Diptera.info :: gold-haired robber fly -> Laphria/Choerades sp?

Addendum: The creature keeps on bothering me, now i'm doubting my own conclusion that this is a Laphria sp.

The creature looks like a Choerades species with a Laphria head.
The shoulders seem basicly brown and not black ???
Laphria usually has long hairs on the back of the mesonotum.

Questions:

Does the creature have the shiny facial hair as in Choerades or not? (compare with 2nd picture)

I hope someone with a lot of experience about Lahpriinae helps me out of my misery..
