And this specimen looks like a female of P. rufipalpis. What is your opinion?

seems to be the best match. vide my post from 2017:

i have posted photos of the ovipositor if you are able to view the ovipositor of your specimen. Phaonia, like Helina, can be variable. I don't see a concrete reason to disagree with your id. It differs slightly from my specimen but the weak prealar eliminates rufiventris here.

Thank you! :) It was the dark flagellomere that made me doubt. But I think you are right, it is just normal variability.

the presence of ad seta on t2 also does not fit rufipalpis
Ph. sp - my opinion

Thank you Nikita! I did not notice the detail of the ad seta on t2. I'll leave it as Phaonia sp.
