Yesterday evening, on my balcony in Minas de Riotiinto, I found this beautiful Syrphidae.
It didn't match any of the usual visitors and it looked like the photos I found of Simosyrphus aegyptius. Of course I have no idea of the genus, and very little knowledge of Syrphidae.

What can be said of this specimen? Cool

Thanks! TumbsUp

Hi,

Your ID is correct, although Ischiodon aegyptius is the valid name.

Best,
Jonne
