This is either Phaonia tuguriorum, or Phaonia scutellata. The former is very common and have palpi basally, and antennae partly yellow. The latter is rare and have both palpi and antennae black. There are other differences between the both, like the height of the genae and the frons width. Both have scutellum apically reddish-yellow and strongly infuscated wings.
