Hello calluna, it's a couple of Sepsis, not Pepsis which is the biggest one of Hymenoptera!
Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to find the species of these Sepsis without a sharp image of the male's fore tibia.

Sorry Eric, of course I ment Sepsis. Does it matter that I can mention that this copula was found just above fresh dung of a Badger? I made a lot op pictures so I wil look for a better picture.

Hello Jap, there's a PDF avaible including keys an descriptions of Sepsidae:
Pont/Maier, 2002: The Sepsidae (Diptera) of Europe
This helps to find the critical characters on photos of the Sepsidae.
