Hi, today I shot it.
But unfortunately only a single shot and only with my smartphone, then it was gone. Can you help to ID?
SW-Germany, Baden-Württemberg, Region Heilbronn, on Cichorium intybus
Many thanks in advance.

It looks like a female Syrphus.
Left posterior femora seems to be entirely yellowish as for S. ribesii.
But I'm not sure this photo is good enough to identify it.

Hi Axel D, many thanks for your help. So we can say Syrphus cf. ribesii, right?
