And this one should be P.lineolus.

Dear Meja,
I don?t see any difference between the pictures. I think it is all Parasyrphus cf. lineolus.

Look at the colour of the third pair of legs ;)

Hello,
I think Maja is right. At least there is some differences, those separating the two species :
front tarsus yellow with only segments 4 and 5 black + hind tibia pale basaly and apicaly for
P. vittiger, front tarsus entirely and hind tibia almost entirely black for
P. lineolus.

Hello
I think in nature the differnence is easier visible: P. vittiger is a dark little animal and as van Veen describes it stouter than P. lineolus.
Thank you very much for helping!
