Taken in beech forest on September the 23rd. Very common. Wings look darkish. Is it Hybos anyway? Can the species be said? Thanks in advance :)

such a dark wings! I tend to go for grossipes, but I cannot see the 2nd pair of legs well. Nor can I see the bristles on the dorsum. I am curious what Paul thinks.

Thanks to you all for your replies :)
Ruud, yes, there are pale bristles over the scutellum. Is that what you need to see? I can post some detail, even if it is not the best quality pictures :( :( Too dark in the forest and too shaky photographer's hand :D :D

A detail of the 2nd femur and the thorax. I think I see clearly now those pale hairs.
