Might be, but there are several similar species, and females cannot be separated. If we only had a good view of the head to estimate the degree of dusting of the frons... P. perpallidus might be another option. See Steven Falk's Platycheirus album https://www.flick...183034332/.

Thank you very much Sundew :) - (Sorry I had no other picture).
I hadn't thought that there are so many similar species as in your link is shown!
So it remains to Platycheirus sp., female.
Greetings Kuv
