Is it Brachypalpus laphriformis?
Thank you for help.

Jetzt bin ich mir nicht mehr sicher...
Looking better at the first picture, the hind tibia looks a bit S-curved. If that is correct, this could be
B. chrysites or
valgus and not
laphriformis. Did you collect it?

Beautiful pictures, but I can not make a 100% solid ID from these pics. If it was not near a stream or a little river, we can carefully scratch
valgus. I am not familiar with the habitat of
chrysites.
If you want, you can place the 3 great pics in the Syrphidae gallery as
Brachypalpus sp., maybe in the future somebody has the guts to make a solid ID
