It's not
E. lundbecki, which is a larger,
Scaeva-like species. Having compared the photograph with females of
E. curtus and
E. punctifer I would exclude the latter. This leaves us with
E. curtus or
E. luniger . I would not be surprised if some of the recently described alpine/arctic species (like
E. tirolensis) do occur on Iceland.
Summa summarum:
Eupeodes is difficult even with the specimen at hand
and a good reference collection. :|
