Hello!
The first one last week was - of course - the good old
Eristalis tenax. Normally
Episyrphus balteatus is similarly early here (have seen it already in February in other years) in northwest Germany, but this one today sunbathing at 10 °C on a stone near forest was not
Episyrphus. I guess, it is a male
Melangyna, maybe
M. lasiopthalma? Length about 7-8 mm.

Yes I'd agree, probably M lasiopthalma.
