Hello!

At first I was not even sure, if this was a Syrphid at all. It was running around on leaves (like Xylota) at a Cornus sanguinea bush, permanently palpating with its forelegs. Size about 8-9 mm, northwest Germany, at a hedge.

Or more likely Myolepta?

Many thanks, Menno! A new genus for me.
