It looks like a darker form of S. humilis to me, but I'm not totally convinced about it. Could you take a pic of the scutellum in dorsal view?

It could be another species... I'm not sure if the mesopleuron is hairy... Maybe not...

Thanks Andrzej. Can you link to some ID key?

Sorry, but I haven't any modern key published yet. The key which included S. humilis was published by Withers (1987) and with small correction can be used from this webpage: https://www.onlin...?key_no=19.
Now, pls mark this specimen as S. humilis...

Finally coming back to the specimen, I find the mesopleuron and pteropleuron bare, as well as the subscutellum. I am not sure about the arista (long vs. short plumose), so I am posting another photo:

Ignoring that, I am reaching either S. affinis or S. flavifrons.
