In flight! 10th October, 4 pairs of white spots. Surely this can't be P. albimanus, the shape of the spots and abdomen shape look like Platycheirus discimanus to me. 1 pic only with a closer crop.. Janet

Thanks Andre, the key I looked at stated that P.albimanus has 3 pairs of spots. That isn't the case? This has an extra pair near the tail end.
