This is Sphaerophoria fatarum, a species of which only males can be identified with certainty.
This male had been collected and its genitalia were checked for identification.
Allthough a carefull examination is necessary, the spots on the abdomen of this species are rather characteristic.
Untill recently (1989), the species was lumped with S.abbreviata.
