Perhaps another marklini but different red marks at abdomen than yesterdays thread. This was bigger, about 13 mm.

Could species be told from this pictures? Same fly on both pictures

The size of the abdominal markings is quite variable in Nowickia spp. but this one looks darker than the average Nowickia so I would guess that it marklini - but I have never actually had one to key so it's just an educated guess :)
