it looks like
Brachypalpus, but I do not know the Fauna in Slovakia
location: High Tatras: vic. Starý Smokovec, 1800-1900m asl., 29th June; on high pastures with patches of shrubs <i>Pinus</i>
Thank you for your time!

Dear Jürgen,
thank you very much for correcting the genus!
I am a biologist with a general interest in arthropods, however I am not a specialist in any field. I will try to find out what are the crucial differences between
Xylota and
Brachypalpus and try to lean to ID the families.
Best regards
