size: about 11 mm

late in the year, isn't it?
If it is arcuatum again, is this species a unique one? If yes, I would be sure for next time Wink

Is an ID possible? Thank you! Regards, Brigitte

Yes, I feel lucky . . . :-)
(today it is cold and rainy, only wasps and eristalis on my balcony)

From C.elegans are no pics in Gallery, but you "think" it's C.elegans. So not sure enough to fill in Gallery?

I am pretty sure, but Chrysotoxum is difficult... You could ad it as cf.

No. Arcuatum has much longer hairs on the tergites.
