Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Which Platycheirus

Hi
I have this single male Platycheirus.
I've been using the key in van Veen, 2004. Where I end up with P. urawakensis (Matsumura) (which should be spelled: P. urakawensis).

Is it possible to determine the species by these photos?

Collected in Faroe Islands, 8. may

Best wishes
