Looks like one of those red Peleteria or Linneamyia. Difficult angle.

Hi,

I still cannot see the face, but my guess would be Linnaemya.

Hi,

thanks for your help. Unfortunately i have no picture of the face. Perhaps i'll find this insect again in my garden.

(temporarily some picture links in my last post where offline due to problems with my web webspace - now it should work)

I see ocellar bristles, so it can't be Peleteria.
Which leaves Linnaemyia as option.

What worries me is that the eyes appear to be bare....
