Thanks for your response Igor.

Why not Sciapus heteropygus Parent, 1926? If not, then it is a new species.
Certainly it fits this species better than alternative (
holoxanthos) but "abdomen dark at most with yellow spots on basal segments", my specimens has largely yellow abdomen with dark basal bands, only apical segment predominantly dark. Could be just variation but thought the discrepancy warranted posting here.
