Hi,

yesterday I took a picture of a hoverfly in flight. Unfortunately this is the only image I have.

Currently, Xanthogramma pedissequum is comparatively abundant here, so I initially thought it might be one of those. But the yellow marking on the left of the Scutellum seems to be unusual and that makes me doubt that its really Xanthogramma pedissequum.
What would you think about it?

Germany, Southern Bavaria, Garden in Munich (-West), 13.07.2023, app. 10 mm

Greetings, Uli
