I've posted it to the Diptera site, but didn't get an answer yet..

I see what you mean with the bi-coloured tibiae of the hind legs, but then I noticed that the female of E.arbustorum has that too!

But its true that the female E.pertinax matches better with mine, apart from that lacking broken orange-brown band.

These are the two other flies I think are the same specie I've possted also on the Diptera site;

This one has a little bit of the band;
