Hi, I photographed this specimen in Scharnstein, southern Upper Austria on May 31, 2022. Rather big, bigger than a honey bee. And it appeared to attack bees that were busy on the catnip (for whatever reason).
Best regards,
Eckhart

Best regards,

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
