It is certainly what I would call it, but I am not completely familiar with the Neartcic fauna...

I'm sure this is a female in the genus Sphegina!

Oeeps, it's a male! :o
Getting so used to look at separation of the eyes that I sometimes forget that some genera don't have that feature!
But yes, you're right Kahis, it is a male!:D
