Hello
I've a doubt for this syrph, the shape on the abdomen ant the thorax means to me Myathropa florea, but he is very large and very yellow for Myathropa ??

What do you mean

Thank you
Louis

No doubt - Myathropa florea male. They can vary in size and in brightness, but no other European syrphid has that particular combination of thoracic and abdominal markings.
