I changed headline (having first a wrong idea) - so I ask now with a "better" idea.
Is my second idea ok?

Looks similar to my male of thread
https://diptera.i...d_id=31414 (the second species after the
Thereva; at that time I now and then posted more than one fly per thread :S). There is a lot of orange in your pictures - mine had a white-haired thorax and yellow halteres, but it might be a matter of photographic technique. So I would agree with
Acrosathe annulata!

These Acrosathe's and so can only be identified by male genitalia.
But I guess annulata is the only one you might have.
So should be good.
