Hello,

is it possible to determine the genus? Perhaps Dasysyrphus tricinctus female with wrong colour?
Location: Northwest Germany, away through mixed forest, in bushes, size about 9 mm, only this photo, taken on 15.08.2017.

Greetings, Konrad

Yes, Dasysyrphus tricinctus female

Looks like an 'intersex': eyes separated on frons but less than in regular females, no clearly developed genitalia and a melanistic appearance.
