Hello Stefan,

I can't see if the face is dusty or not, so Melanostoma sp.

P.S.: This is a Syrphid and as such should be posted in the Syrphidae subforum.
Best regards,
Jürgen

Ja, it is mellinum, since T2 is much wider than long.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
