Is it Brachypalpus laphriformis?
Thank you for help.

Jetzt bin ich mir nicht mehr sicher...
Looking better at the first picture, the hind tibia looks a bit S-curved. If that is correct, this could be B. chrysites or valgus and not laphriformis. Did you collect it?

Hi Andre,

Sorry I have not collected the fly. Here is only an other view.
Greetings, Pia

Beautiful pictures, but I can not make a 100% solid ID from these pics. If it was not near a stream or a little river, we can carefully scratch valgus. I am not familiar with the habitat of chrysites.
If you want, you can place the 3 great pics in the Syrphidae gallery as Brachypalpus sp., maybe in the future somebody has the guts to make a solid ID :)

Thank you Andre.
