With an abdomen like that it can only really be Cylindromyia or Lophosia ... you might have been tempted to say Lophosia because this has an entirely black body, but I think rufipes is the only European Cylindromyia that is black-bodied :) C.rufipes isn't in the Central European key because it tends to be a very southern species.
