Looks in all aspects Leopoldius to me.

I agree that this could be
Leopoldius calceatus. On the other hand, the large head, pale first antennal segments and intensive brown foremarginal band are more suggestive of
Conops insignis to me - but as readers of the forum entry by Isidro (25 Aug) will know, this is not an easy call to make unless you can get a good clear look at the proboscis!
