is it Melanostoma, perhaps mellinum? (or scalare?)
Thank you! Regards from Swizerland, Syrphidae-Balcony

Yes, it's Melanostoma. The frons dust spots looks small so I'd say M. mellinum. A female.

I think it is
scalare, but there is some room for discussion 'cause the view on the face is a little bit 'far away'.

I'll stick with
mellinum as I don't see any dust spots to speak of.
