Getting an ID for this Syrphus would complete my Hoverflies for 2008. Thanks to all who have spared the time for the past 3months + to ID my posts.:).

Syrphus torvus or
vitripennis, female.
Closer ID not possible.

If it was early spring/end winter, chances for
torvus grow ;)

Take the earliest
Syrphus specimens that come up after the winter and you have the best chance, between relatively lower cases of
ribesii and
vitripennis.
