Hello! I found this very interesting-looking fly in Linz a few days ago. Can anyone determine the genus?
Thanks and all the best!

Yes, I thought about it, but the anal vein does not reach the wing margin, and I can not see hair on the underside of the scutellum... Also there do not seem to be any interfrontal setae present (although I am not sure about the upwards bend of the M-vein).
The yellow wings are quite striking...
