Hallo!
Thanks a lot!
Could it be ID without "cf"? What photos should I do?

Neoitamus females are very hard to determine from photographs. Have a look here: http://www.robberflies.info/keyger/htmle/keyneoitamus.html#4

A first indication is the fact the meta-tarsi are red wirth a black top. N. cyanurus has almost entirely darkened metatarsi,(but not always)
