Untill Parhelophilus, I'm shure;
But can anyone confirm Parhelophilus frutotorum?

Thanks a lot,

Well Jonas,
I can at least confirm a female Parhelophilus sp.
In females of the genus the diference is only visible under the microscope, even if you have a picture of the head like your second one.
Next time catch it and check the back of the head for black hairs in between the yellow.
Greetings
