Need to see wing venation - could it be a stratiomyid? Strats all have a little ring of veins in the middle of the wing :)

Should be
Chloromyia formosa, as I think the tarsi are all brownish.

Well, it tuned out to have rather clear yellow mid and hind basitarsi after all, so we have a
Chloromyia speciosa here. Specimen deposited in the Natural History Museum Maastricht (NHMM).
