Hello,

besides some Episyrphus balteatus and Eristalis tenax I found this slender Syrphid in our garden today (northwest Germany). Unfortunately this is the only photo, I could take. Maybe a male Melangyna (quadrimaculata?)?

Yes, possibly Melangyna quadrimaculata (but hard to tell for sure).

Thanks! I store it with a 'cf.'.
