Hi Peter,
It's not P. manicatus, the face doesn't protrude enough and the spots are not big enough for the male.
I can't say what it is though, more angles would be useful and perhaps some closer crops for anyone to make any sort of judgement.

It seems to be a male in the Platycheirus peltatus group, most likely P. peltatus itself, but we can't rule out P. nielseni I guess.
