Is it possible to tell genus and even species on this male? Collorae?

Thanks for your help in advance

No, certainly nót corollae. Much more interesting, but ID not possible (my first guess would have been Eupeodes goeldlini, anyway don't use it. Start collecting, take up this beautiful hobby :), there are so many interesting flies in your country and not so many collectors!)

Many thanks Andre for this and other answers

Perhaps I have more pictures from tha same place. What must be seen for possible ID?

Goeldlini cannot be ID'd from a picture, sorry (just like more Eupeodes-species)! But try to find pics with clear view on wing and frons, to exclude possible other species.
