Hi,
Some days ago I saw this little black syrphid. I suppose it is a
Pipiza and thus undeterminable to species level. Any better ideas?
Many thanks, Sundew

You are close:
Pipizella. Look at the antenna: they are on an almost 'flat' frons. While those of
Pipiza grow from a cone-shaped elevation (forgive me my poor english).

I see! I shall keep that difference in frons shape in mind. And don't apologize for your English - what you say is always so helpful, and it is absolutely understandable. Therefore to me it's simply GREAT!
