Hello,
I found this 10-12 mm fly yesterday at 5 °C sunbathing at the forest border (northwest Germany).
Could it be
Cheilosia grossa
? That would be a new species for me...

Hi,
Looks to me as
grossa
, hairy eyes, overall color of pilosity, black antennae and of course the early flight period. Congrats with your +1!
Best, Jonne
