Hi Nikita,
I'ld say
Tephritis vespertina. The apical fork of the wingpattern has very broad branches.

Haha,
Because Syrphidae is the second family I work on and I didn't have a nice picture of a Tephritid, whereas I did have a picture of a Psilota, a genus that is of special interest for me, fo I have just finished the manuscript of a Palearcitc revision of this genus.
But perhaps I'll make a nivce picture of a Tephritid this year and change my avatar.
