Hey Rupert, Nice pictures!! No, it's not Brachyopa, but a genus that looks a lot like them. This is the male of Hammerschmidtia ferruginea! Greetings, Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

Thanks Gerard! So my doubts about Brachyopa were justified (seems too slim, and perhaps too long as well). Doesn't seem to be among the most frequent hoverflies, so I'm really glad now yet to have left the house yesterday evening.  Best greetings Rupert Edited by Rupert Huber on 02-07-2009 11:17 |

Many thanks to you, too, Andre! So I'll try if the pics are good enough for Paul, too, to accept them for the gallery  Best greetings Rupert |
