Could somebody put an ID on this little fly (5-6 mm.) ?

I found it parasitizing the bee Andrena vaga, but I don't think it could be Cacoxenus indagator.

Hi Jean-Claude
Don't know which fly it is....but I may have to take up the Fitness-Ultimate Stretching Routine in the other video, just for my healths sake obviously :D

Regards Roger

EDIT; Some people (who shall remain nameless) appear to be taking a very long time studying this fly. It must be very hard to determine. ;)

You can rename your video "Leucophora ...for sure". :)

And indeed, don't know why your video seem less attractive that the next one...
