Hello Forum,
is it a Syrphidae? Is a closer ID possible? I took the picture in Hagen, NRW, Germany, on September 2nd 2010, in the near of an extended beech forest, 150msm
Best regards, Josef

Hello, Josef!
Looks like a
Melanostoma
female to me,
M. mellinum
or
scalare
(which I would prefer). But wait for the experts...

Melanostoma
would be my thought too.
