Hello!

This 5-6 mm female Syrphid sat on a Sambucus leaf at the forest yesterday (northwest Germany). To my eyes it doesn't look quite like Meliscaeva auricollis (and is too slender), nor Meligramma triangulifera (which I only know from pictures). But what could it be?

It's a female Meligramma triangulifera Smile.
