was my first thought too, but the spots are so "funny" - more like female and so "angled like" . . . hhhhmm

So we are again two ;)

Maybe it is Scaeva albomaculata

It is a rather dark specimen of E. corollae

Thank you for answering!

It is late in the year for Syrphidaes. Is this a reason for other "types of colour" or is it hazard? I will open a new thread with this question adding pics from E. balteatus.
