Berlin - July

I believe that this is a female Helina calceata but I'm not an expert. I have a problem with the sternites: I have identified two female Helina species (with the help of Stephane) and the sternites are very slender. The sternites of this fly are very large unlike the other Helina (confinis and pertusa). I'm seeking a conformation for both genus and species.

I'll attach photos of the sternites and my dissection of the ovipositor (very difficult task.)

Thank You very much.

edit: originally assumed to be H. calceata.
