 Hello,

Found in a wooded area on April 23, 2024, in Hesse, Germany.

It is more likely Syrphus vitripennis.

Most likely Syrphus ribesii. It is unlikely to find S. vitripennis so early in the season. It is mainly a summer openland species.

 I'd definitely say S. ribesii (about one third of hind femur yellow).
