Are you 1000% (no typo!) sure this is the same specimen ??
First has balc scutellum, others reddish tip.

The apparent reddish tip in the last photo is the calypter in the background.

Yes, it is the same specimen (101 % sure :) )

OK
I know see it is Blondeliini and not Eryciini as I previously assumed, so hairy eyes and erect apical scutellar bristles make it Meigenia.

Female
Meigenia can't be identified yet, I think. Does it really have hairy eyes? One photo looks like yes, the others suggest no. :/

That is another reason why I asked if it is 1000 % certain the same specimen.

I'm thinking that the 'hair' is just an artefact caused by the bright dusted area next to the eye.

The left eye is clearly hairy in the first pic, in my opinion.
But THomas has the specimen, so let's ask him to check, please ?

Thanks, Theo and Chris ! :)
I have no binocular microscope but I think I didn't see any hairs on his eyes
