Looks like
Microdon to me - so moving to Syrphidae ;)

Chris is right, this is a Microdon. The only European species with patches of black pile on the mesoscutum is M. devius, but as far as I know these patches should be restricted to the posterior half. In this specimen, the black pilosity is far more extensive. Interesting! Did you collect it?
