nice :) thanks a lot Carlo.

maybe Beris clavipes? abdomen yellow,hind tibia all yellow (e.g. B.vallata has hind tibia half black...) ...just a guess :)

That's was my guess too, but I am not an expert so I didn't dare...

Yes, you're both right. It's a male B. clavipes; as bums noticed hind tibiae make vallata not reliable
