Dates: Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Schenefeld near Hamburg, at a bush in a "wild" meadow, 25 msm, Outsidefoto: kuv, 13th of June 2012, about 15 o'clock. I think it looks similar to Cheilosia chrysocoma or Merodon equestris var. narcissi. ID possible? Please help.
Best regards
Kuv

Looks like Merodon equestris - legs all black, deep loop in wing vein 4+5. Definitely not a Cheilosia sp.
