Hello!
I know this is not the first time I ask here about this species, but with every new individual I'm not sure again :-/.
This photo I took yesterday, Oct-03, here in Ostwestfalen/Germany. The fly was about the size of a
Syrphus ribesii (perhaps slightly larger), but it did not behave like one. It only visited every blossom for a very short time, making it very difficult to photograph.

Your assumption is correct.
Eriozona erratica, also known as Megasyrphus annulipes or Didea annulipes (to make it easy).

Thanks! There are still more hits in Google for
Megasyrphus annulipes and
M. erraticus, but
Eriozona erratica is the most current name if I am correct?

Andre, please, keep it in English. Not all of us here understand German. :)
