I found this Thereva close to Stockholm, Sweden, end of July. Can someone help me with the ID?

Should I take that as it is impossible to tell which species it is?

Males are extremely difficult from pictures. Not to big problem under microscope with a good literature, comparison collection, and some experience. If you need a name to your fly, send it to me. From these pictures, I would say T. handlirschi, but it is not ID!!!

OK, I did not collect it so I will just keep it as Thereva sp. Many thanks for your help!

There is only 1 pair of DC, so handlirschi seems improbable to me.
