Hello!

This one has nearly no markings (7-8 mm, from sloe bush, northwest Germany). Any suggestions?

All dark female of Parasyrphus punctulatus. Not uncommon.

Best wishes,

Thanks again! Very many P. punctulatus here that day... ;) But yesterday at 24 °C there were many more Syrphidae species at the sloe bush (still have to sieve the photos, maybe I'll post some here later).
