Hi,
This
Eristalis I saw in Rudolstadt, Thuringia, about three weeks ago. Can
E. similis be confirmed?
Many thanks, Sundew

Hi, Sundew! I have very little experience in this, but if I would have been asked to put a name to that Hoverfly, I would have said it is
Eristalis similis. The stigma fits to perfection and the general features seem to match too.
But wait for the opinion of an expert ;)

I would say so, see the long pterostigma.

I see you also point out to the pterostigma that led me to my species guess. Many thanks to both of you!
