hi,

I know that this angle is not the best to identify an insect. As chance would have it after the 2nd click the fly passed away but left me with a detailed hires shot, attached as link at the end of this entry.

location: munich, germany -> parkway
size was aprox 7,5mm
the 3 stripes was very narrow I assume because of the long and hard winter ? In general there aren't many syrphids this years compared to 2008

Here I found one with a slight different pattern (looks like Episyrphus belteatus) but same place.
