Hello, I am wondering what species this is. Looks like Hydrophoria ruralis, but i don’t think that’s the one. This fly flew into my apartment and kept flying small circles in the middle of room, much like a hoverfly. Took the pictures when it finally perched on the window.

Ps. I have more pictures, but I can’t see yet how to upload more than 1 picture..

Could it be Fannia canicularis?
