Hello,
can the genus of this hoverfly be determined after these pictures? It looked like a small (8-9 mm)
Syrphus, but I am not sure. At a sloe hedge (northwest Germany).

Hi,
Indeed a female Syrphus. I also sometimes find some small females, maybe it has something to do with a cold period during their development?
Best,
Jonne

Could be
Parasyrphus malinellus. Frons should be black.
