Lapposyrphus lapponicus s.l. (habitus of a Eupeodes but with a strong loop at vein r4+5). (The true lapponicus probably occurs only in GB and Scandinavia whereas its still unnamed sibling ["species A" sensu Stubbs & Falk] is more widespread. This split has not been recognized by continental syrphidologists but is probably valid.)

Dieter

Oh ! :o
If I would have to reply, I would have said a freshly emerged Scaeva, because of the very wide ocular angle, the swollen frons with brush of black hair above, and because the eyes seems hairy on the first picture.
But I would never want ot crontradict Dieter ! :p

Thx Dieter and Stephane. This was too small for Scaeva.

My answer was too fast :(
It is a Scaeva selenitica and the characters Stephane mentioned are correct.
