Yes, Volkmar, it is: a female Chrysotoxum bicinctum, of the Syrphidae.

Lieber Volkmar,
weil du wiederholt fragst, ob das Insekt eine Fliege ist:
wenn nur ein Flügelpaar voll entwickelt ist, und das zweite Paar zu stark reduzierten Schwingkölbchen (Halteren) umgewandelt ist, dann ist es immer eine Fliege Smile

LG!
Cheers, Lorin

My Diptera observations (and other living forms) can be found here, and corrections or comments over there would also be appreciated.
