Hello,

I observed this Syrphidae the 11th of August in Gravelines in the north of France. I think of a Eupeodes but the yellow spots on the abdomen seems to me different from a Eupeodes corollae, maybe it's a Eupeodes bucculatus , what do you think ?

Cordially Maxime

If the hind femora are yellow and it is a female (it seems so), then it is ribesii.
