Female Phaonia subventa, I think.

More likely Phaonia rufiventris (scutellum entirely orange, presutural mid stripes narrow, and I think I can see only one presutural pair of acrostichals).

Thanks, Lars, for your comment. It helped me to investigate a bit further and try to see what I find about the species. So I came to the conclusion that it might rather be Phaonia rufiventris - so thanks to Stephane, very helpful !!!
