It certainly looks like
Gymnosoma rotundatum but the best angle for the photograph would have been from above, where we could have seen the golden dusting on the thorax. ;)

Thank's Chris, i have two other Fotos of the fly. What do you mean now?
The third fly is not the same ex. as the two others.
Best regards

Hmm...
rotundatum or
nudifons I think - but I'll have to leave that one for Theo for a really positive ID. They are a very difficult genus and I don't see enough of them here in the UK. :)

Can't tell.
The last picture by Urs is not the same specimen as the first two, is it ??
Please, beware of this type of confusion !
My guess (no more) is that the first two are rotundatum, the last is nudifrons.
Females are so much easier (in Gymnosoma)
