This Myopa dived somewhat too deep in the flowering Salix caprea and may show too little of the wing pattern. It was seen on 10 april in the Netherlands at the border of a beach forest and ex agricultural area [returned to nature] now heath-grassland, grazed area. Can someone help to tell the species

Yes, it is a Myopa, very difficult to say more.
It is not polystigma and not vicaria, might be tessellata.

Do you probably mean tesselatipennis?
Kind regards,

No, I meant tessllata.
It could be tesselatipennis, but given the darkness of the scutum, I prefer tessellata.
As said, not sure at all.

I asked this because tesselata is not listed for the Netherlands as far as I can check. [Paul Beuk Checklist of the Diptera of the Netherlands en Dutch Soortenregister. Is there perhaps a more recent source of information?

Ah, my mistake.
I meant: 'testacea'

I think M. testacea too.
