Hello,
I photographed this hoverfly on June 20, 2024, in a forest area in Hesse, Germany.
Best regards

Seems as if the eyes are hairy. So, yes,
Syrphus torvus.

Thank you very much, Jürgen.
Unfortunately, it's hard to tell from the photos whether the eyes are hairy.
That was also my problem when identifying it.

Agree on S. torvus.
