Badem, RLP, Germany, 01 Aug 2021, captured on a cactus bloom in my garden. Can this fly be identified as a Cheilosia caerulescens?

I only know C. caerulescens from pictures; but the following characters indeed seem to fit well with that species: hairless eyes, protruding lower face, and some darkened wing ribs. Karsten |
