I found this species in Ticino, Switzerland. Date : 19-06-2023.
My preference is
Myopa vicaria but I have doubts.
Myopa testacea may also be a possibility.
A second opinion is welcome.
Best regards

Vicaria is an early spring species with very hairy parafacial.
Testacea has thoracic dorsum all black.
So niether fit…..

Ok. Thank you for your answer.
I don't know if it has enough hairs on thorax and abdomen for
Myopa hirsuta.

No. Moreover, that is early soring as well.

The Myopa key, It's still hard for me.
I find some similarities for
Myopa stigma and found an observation on the 22st of May, so that's close.
But it remains a bit of a gamble for me.
