Pinned specimen of striking-looking syrphid, no data about location, in a museum of natural history in Bonn, Germany (Museum König). ID needed please!

Thanks! Then looks like that it's probably an European species, I guess? |

Huh! I see that there are a lot of similar species! Chalcosyrphis valgus, femoratus, curvaria... There is no way of distinguish them? |

Of course they are identifiable, but it would help to know where it's from.....
