It's Physocephala, however, I doubt if it is rufipes.
Rufipes should have the femur 3 largely... black (don't blame me).
Moreover, it is very elongated.
SO this might be Ph. nigra.

Femur of
rufipes should be uniformly reddish, as far as I know. For a better ID we need a picture from the front, taken a little bit from the side (if possible). Could even be
chrysorrhoea?

Andr? is right that a picture from the front would help.
P. chrysorrhoea should have a completely yellow face and the brown wing-band covering R2 comletely, and a silvery stripe on the pleura (which I can`t see) (-->if it has this silvery stripe it's more likely to be P. truncata.)
Without the silvery stripe we'll need a pic of the face to say if it's nigra of rufipes.

I'd go for P. rufipes.

Andre is right, it's rufipes after all, as well illustrated by the black vitta on face in the last picture. My mistake
