Hello,
there are too many Syrphidae similar similar to this for me. What species (or genus) is this?
Thanks,
Michael

Thank you.
There seems to be only one very common species - Merodon equestris. With numerous varieties. Would it be too uncareful to label the pictures as Merodon equestris?

It would be unwise indeed, because it's
Criorhina berberina.
