I suppose this is a Syrphidae sp, but I didn't find a match in the gallery. I have one more shot of this individual where the wingpattern is sharp (but not the head). Any chance of an ID? From midwest Sweden in may 2006. Edit: Changed subject (Syrphidae sp?) crex attached the following image:  [98.88Kb] Edited by crex on 06-06-2006 22:47 |

It is a male Eristalis. And becuase the front tarsi are all yellow, it should be pertinax.

Thank you, Maddin. I now have looked at other photos of Eristalis pertinax and it sure looks like one. |

Hello, It is not very clear, but it seems me that there is a batman-like pattern on the thorax of this fly. Could it be Myathropa florea? Pierre Duhem |

That?s for shure an Eristalis. Myathropa florea has much more yellow on thorax and abdomen. Gisela |
