unfortunately I found no pic to Fagisyrphus cinctus in the gallery - or I overlooked.
Is it the correct ID?
Thanks, Brigitte

Fagisyrphus cinctus
(Fallén, 1817) is called
Melangyna cincta
in van Veen's book and
Meligramma cincta
in Fauna europaea. There are two pictures of a male in the gallery under this last name. Your specimen is yet another genus.
Maybe
Meliscaeva cinctella
?

this hoverfly seemed (for me) "wider" and "rounder" as Meliscaeva cinctella - in this reason I thought of Meligramma cincta.
Thank you!

Hello,
In the gallery, you have the male and the female. This latter one is wider and rounder, as you say.
