Orthonevra?

Thank you Paul, I do not think it is orhonevra, but rather melanogaster. On de site waarneming.nl, I have been told it may be melanogaster hirtella.

Yes its a Melanogaster and it could be very well an hirtella (I doubt because in the van Veen the thoracic dorsum should have black to grey hairs while they look pale to me on the photo).

Thank you Bastiaan. The pale coloration is maybe due to the flash.

The first pic would be nice for the Syrphidae gallery here :)

Hallo Andre,

Geen probleem voor mij om de foto te gebruiken. Is die foto goed genoeg of moet ik een grotere foto zenden?

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Marie-Christine

Think Paul would appreciate English for the language? If you'd like to practise more Dutch with me, you're welcome to mail me ;)

Guess the picture will do fine, but it's your choice. Both is okay.

Ciao, André
