Hi,

Yesterday, in my garden (Netherlands east), app. 13 degr C. App. 18-20 mm. Abdomen uniformly metallic blue green.
I thought some Syrphid, but key gives Stratiomyidae.
Any help please?

Andr

I'd say Sargus cuprarius. A very, very late one. The last that Brugge mentioned in his key to the Dutch species (Brugge, 2002) was from 6 October...

Sargus sp. - Stratiomyidae by sure. I recognized the wing venation. :)
