Hello,
unfortunately I could only take this photo, before it flew away. I have looked at all small Syrphidae in literature, that occur here in early spring, but I could not find a species with such small white spots in combination with such a slender abdomen. Maybe a
Platycheirus?

Just a feeling: Platycheirus albimanus
Thanks, Carlo! That was my first thought, too. But the spots seemed too narrow.
