I thought perhaps it could be Cistogaster, but I've ruled out by Ectophasia ... perhaps crassipennis.
Any ideas?

It certainly looks like a female
Ectophasia - the wing venation (not visible here) is important to look at though :) Although
crassipennis is the commonest species, for a species identification we need to see/measure the length of the proboscis too.

OK, certainly
Ectophasia female - any chance of seeing the female genitalia? They have a piece that is either curved forward or curved backwards :)

Impossible to see the genitalia, but getting to the genus level is fine. Thanks a lot:D
