Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Merodon obscuritarsis?

Hello,
I found this fly in March 2019 in the Canary Islands (Fuerteventura, Costa Calma). Unfortunately, I have only a single picture.
For Fuerteventura I found only one species listed: Merodon fuerteventurensis. This should be a synonym for Merodon obscuritarsis Strobl, 1909.
(MARIA ANGELES MARCOS-GARCÍA, ANTE VUJIC and XIMO MENGUAL: Revision of Iberian species of the genus Merodon (Diptera: Syrphidae), Eur. J. Entomol. 104: 531–572)
Is it possible to confirm the species?

Thanks, Marion
