It could be although it looks slightly different. We need to the belly of the abdomen to be sure.

That is an option, but this fly looks rather small though. A flavipes is usually larger than 20 mm.

I add picture which help me to measure her. There may be a little measurement error, but she was not larger than 20 mm ! .jpg) Jessica Joachim : France : Colombiers : 34440 : 13/06/2020 Altitude : 71 m - Taille : 15 mm avec ovipositeur Réf. : 268603 |

I have in collection A. flavipes. Indeed this species is large. A. confused is smaller, but on these photos difficult to say. |

Aghhh, yes it could well be A confusus. Again a but.... my specimens have a totally white mystax and Tsacas mentions that.....??? remains a puzzling specimen. Please get us a male :-)
