I'm not sure about this syrphid. At first sight it looks like a Syrphus sp. or a Eristalis sp. It is about 15 mm long.

Thanks for the help,

I totally agree with Stephane, but I?ve never seen this species with such orangy colouring. Is this the true colour or is there something wrong with my screen..Shock
Best regards,

Such orange specimens make about 2-5% here in my region (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Some also have a different striping:

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
