Among Danish species, abscence of bristles on scutellum and naked eyes point towards flavipes and latifrons. The extensive yellow parts of the legs indicate flavipes (f). I have never seen that species myself, but there should be little doubt, " Honan kan med sin kombination av kort gul behåring, nakna ögon och nästan helt gula ben knappast förväxlas med någon annan art." https://artfakta.se/artbestamning/taxon/cheilosia-flavipes-200483 A very rare species over here, only found in N Zealand.
