The wing shading reminds me of Paykullia but I'm not sure about the pale legs ... over to Theo :)

Thank you Chris. So let's wait for Theo :)
I read that at least P. kugleri has yellow antennae, coxae and femora, but it's from Israel :-(

And only two hours later...
I contacted Pierfilippo Cerretti* who kindly answered me: Yes, it's a female of P. nubilipennis. Good catch!
