I found a description of Sepsis punctum by Paul Beuk in the internet: "the base of the abdomen has an orange tinge, a feature often found in S. punctum, and the legs are mostly yellowish." Furthermore, there is a Sepsidae website (http://popgen.uni...sidae.html) showing Sepsis punctum with really yellow legs. The wing patterns of three species are also illustrated, and Sepsis fulgens would better fit as to the shape of the black spot.
However, this is only a compilation of information, no expert opinion! My Sepsis photos are still waiting for ID.
Greetings, Sundew

Hello,

Thanks for your comments.
I expected something like "It's a female, it is hopeless" from Nikita.
