Hello Borlinghaus,

The specimen shown is a Melangyna. Leucozona never have the sharp defined abdominal spots on tergite three and four.
Seeing the spots are very white I would say this is Melangyna umbellatarum.

Greetings,

Ectemnius

p.s. Syrphidae are usually posted in the Syrphidae forum:

Hello Rolf,

Indeed, this is definitely Melangyna umbellatarum.

Greetings,
