Could this be Platycheirus peltatus?
Oslo, Norway May 18.

Sure looks like one, but in Norway I suspect some other similar species...

Thanks Andre! Looks like I have to collect it next time to avoid another Platycheirus sp :)

Platycheirus cf. europaeus would be my guess, knowing the hardness of identifying Platycheirus by pictures. At least I key it out like this using the keys...
