Tritoma erythrocephala?
Possibly T. erythrocephala. The body shape is correct and the legs look orange in color. But, to confirm, I'd need to see a beter ventral picture. Tritoma erythrocephala is in a group that have very weakly dilated tibiae. There are other groups which can have similar color patters that have more widened tibiae.
