Hello!
I thought, this was
Helophilus pendulus, but it had no white(ish) markings. At a hedge, northwest Germany.

There are "whitish" markings on tergites which are present in Helophilus and Parhelophus each. Do you mean other markings? It is a female of Helophilus pendulus.

I mean the smaller markings nearer to the end (see red lines on picture below). In the "normal"
H. pendulus I know, they are much lighter than the rest of the markings (and nearly white in
H. trivittatus). On this specimen all markings are of the same colour.
It is a female of Helophilus pendulus.
Thanks!
