Hello,

Could it be a male of Chalcosyrphus eunotus ?

Western France, Loire-Atlantique, march 2021, 20th. On a Rhododendron's leave, sunbathing in the cold morning, at the south edge of a wood, near a garden.

approximate size : 20 mm (under) ?

Thanks in advance !

Patrick

It is flight time of Brachypalpus valgus, and that's my guess!
