Xenox xylocapae? - Xenox xylocopae

Size: over 20mm
flying around and landing on sticks and rocks in a territorial manner. I think this one lacks the crossvein of a habrosus .

I'm not sure. There is a reflection at the right spot that may be from the crossvein, but it's hard to tell what it really is. Do you have a different angle for this one?

Moved from Bee Flies.

Crossvein
Hello, could you educate me more about the crossvein? Thank you very much! I was looking back and forth at Xenox habrosus and X. xylocopae, and couldn't seem to find the vein.
