This is one of a series of photos sent to me by Stéphane Brule today - mostly taken during walks around his home. Could anyone suggest a name?

It reminds me of a few syrphid genera that we get here and it has the vena-spuria so it should really be Syrphidae ... but it is really rather beautiful

A female Ocyptamus sp. would be my idea about this one, nice color! Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

Ocyptamus johnsoni (Curran). I know it from Surinam, where it is not uncommon. |
