Hmm, too many things are unclear for me to say for sure. It's got very few features that narrow the identification down - but the yellow palp; hairy eyes; 4 black stripes on the anterior thorax; and the huge ad bristle on the mid tibia are pretty good. It doesn't seem to have bristles on the facial ridge or very far down the face too. Can't quite see the colour of the hairs behind the head OR the arrangement of the scutellar bristles though. Would be nice to see the number and arrangement of bristles on the thorax - pre and post sutural and humeral callus too.

There... a short shopping list for you ;)
