Hello,

Here is a couple of fly from the Syrphidae family... She looks like Parasyrphus nigritarsis but I'm not so confident for I found the abdomen a little too broad...

Any idea / suggestion???

(Pictures took last August in Sherbrooke, Quebec (near Vermont)...)

Thanks again for your great help!

Michel

it looks more like Syrphus vitripennis/ribesii (the female looks like a S. vitripennis, at least ribesii is not for sure).

Thank you very much for both of you! It will then be Syrphus sp. for sure...

Cheers!
