Hello Carlo,

At first glance it looks like Platycheirus albimanus. But under the dust of the abdomen are clearly yellow spots and they are connected. That makes this Meliscaeva auricollis.

Greetings,

Ectemnius

Thank you very much. I have a lot to learn, I would not have reached that conclusion by myself. I will edit the title accordingly.
