Hello! I caught this one in Hungary, yesterday. It was a little specimen. I think that this is a Platycheirus ambiguus, could you help me please? Or is this an other species?

The combination of not-entirely black third antennal segment, yellow fore and middle femura, yellow hind femora with black ring, and blue-grey spots on tergites give only ambiguus as possibility among the 22 species known in Denmark.
I assume the abdomen must have grey spots?

Thank you! Yes, I would say that there are some grey spots. Then, surely ambiguus?
