Hello Volker, I think it's a female Callicera aurata: - Length antennal segment 2≈1, 3≈1+2 - Female femora extensively black - Tarsal segments 3-5 black (all legs) - Hairs on posterior margin of scutellum distinctly shorter than scutellum from van Veen (2010): Hoverflies of Northwest Europe Greetings, Eric |
