Hi Lars
Looks like Platycheirus scambus (F) in the Gallery, but wait for confirmation from the Experts Wink
Regards Roger

Hi Roger, and thanks.
I must learn to look through the whole gallery and not just bits and pieces Smile
It looks indeed like the P. scambus in the gallery except that one has a yellow face and mine has a grey one. Could be an age thing perhaps. Or just normal variations.
I'll edit the title and wait for the Experts.
