Small dark syrphid with whitish markings on the abdomen and a shiny thorax. Photographed on chickweed in our garden in Mechernich-Satzvey (Germany) on 20 April 2022. Is ID possible? To me Melangyna umbellatorum seems to be an option. Thank you very much for your help. Image 1 HTK attached the following image:  [191.97Kb] Edited by HTK on 11-05-2022 22:08 |

Hello Roger, thank you very much for identifying this fly. I now see the distinctive clump of hairs on the front legs (pictures 1 and 5). Kind regards, Hans Theo |
