Is it possible with genus and perhaps species of this 8-9 mm long fly.
Looking quite lika a Scaeva. I have only this picture.

I'd say Dasysyrphus. Perhaps D. hilaris.

Hello Lars

With the hairy eyes I also think it is Dasysyrphus when I look better, but is it hilaris?

It is a Dasysyrphus, but probably not hilaris. The ID should be made with the specimen in hand, or maybe maybe with some extra pictures of this specimen.

Thas for answers on Didea and this thread.

I have some more pictures from lookalikes from other sites and days and will post them later.

Hi Kurt,

this is Dasysyrphus pinastri, because of the oblique spots on tergites 3 and 4 and the strong "dust" band on frons.
