Yesterday evening, on my balcony in Minas de Riotiinto, I found this beautiful Syrphidae.
It didn't match any of the usual visitors and it looked like the photos I found of Simosyrphus aegyptius. Of course I have no idea of the genus, and very little knowledge of Syrphidae.

What can be said of this specimen? B)

Thanks! |t

Hi,

Your ID is correct, although Ischiodon aegyptius is the valid name.

Best,
Jonne
