Hello Sundew,

Dear Juergen, you surely know the Eristalis key http://web.archiv...stkey.html as well as we others do...


no, I didn't know that key. I as a layman do not work with keys, because even with better photos I mostly don't know if I see the right characters. I thought, keys are used mainly by specialists with a specimen under a binocular. I hoped someone could recognize this fly by his/her experience. It looked different (to me) from all the E. arbustorum/interrupta I see frequently.
