This female syrphid was seen on 12 April 2017. Does it lay (or "throw"?) eggs? Do you have an idea about the genus / species?

Location: Kerzers, Switzerland 438 m above sea
Habitat: Found in a hedge, but there is also farmland a small forest and meadow nearby
Size: approx. 16-17 mm

If you have any idea what you see here please share your thoughts.

Regards,
Ov
