Hi, I have some photos of something I suspect to be a syrphid of the genus Cheilosia. So, is that true?

Found in western switzerland, end of july, 400 m above sea level.

Regards,

Nadine

That was fast now, thank you so much.

I read that Melanogaster is very similar. So could this also be a Melanogaster?
