Photo taken near Reading, UK on 2012-07-15. I think this might be Chrysotoxum verralli. Can anyone confirm or refute this? tristram attached the following image:  [186.05Kb] Edited by tristram on 07-08-2012 18:59 |

From the shape of the black front margins of tergites 2 and 3, this is Chrysotoxum verralli, rather than C. elegans. Keys mention the colour of hairs on the scutellum, but it's very hard to decide this character from photos. I have seen C. verralli in new places around Reading this year, usually low down in vegetation. |
