Hello Sylvester, Volker & Sundew,

Myopa are not always easy to identify. But the 3rd photo does indeed show a Sicus sp.
The feature of the palps is not always easily judged, because of lighting circumstances. The best features to look for in M. tesselatipennis group specimens is the hairlength on the badomen, and the markings on the pouter edge of cel R. Here the hair is short and the wing markings are clearly broken by a white patch. -> Myopa tesselatipennis!

Kind regards,
Ectemnius
