Hello everybody,
please, is it possible to tell at least genus of this robberfly through this photo:

farm4.staticflickr.com/3818/9567291304_16559e53f1_z.jpg

Larger view: http://farm4.stat...f4f6_o.jpg.

Picture taken in Southern Hungary in August on an early morning. The size was about 13 mm.

Thank you, Nikola

Tolmerus cingulatus. Im not totally sure there are no similar species there. It is not T. cowini only similar species known to me.
