Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Xanthogramma dives? Help from Dutch speakers appreciated

Hi,

this female Xanthogramma, which I identified as X. pedissequum, was recently suggested to be X. dives.
I wondered if the infuscated wing tips are rather a reflection of light and also, if the hind legs shouldn't be darker for X. dives.
There is yellow visible on the pleura just in front of the halteres - this should be a determining feature if I am correct?
Are other diagnostic features visible in this image?

You can find the observation here:

Best,
Lorin
