I think it is a Eupeodes sp. but am not sure. Maybe a E. corollae or E. luniger?

Thanks,

Andre, this being a male how do you know this is corollae? What characteres distinguish this species from the other?

Even from this side the genitalia look large. Then there is a rather strong curve in the anal vein, near its apex. Next, the hairs on the scutellum look light/yellow. Last, the spots on abdomen touch the sides over a considderate distance.
