I expect a photo like this is not good enough for ID, but maybe...?
Photographed southern Norway, May 20th.

I would think this is Myopa buccata. We have 6 Myopa species in Norway.

Thanks Asilus.
M. buccata is the one I had in my mind. The most common Myopa in Norway?!

Yes, Myopa buccata is the most common species in Norway, but Myopa fasciata and Myopa testacea is also fairly common.

Myopa buccata. The whitish cross-vein r-m is diagnostic.
