Might be M. mellinum, but with uncertainty. The pictures do not show the necessary details that you can learn from the key of p. 129 in https://www.resea..._Syrphidae. The pictures in https://www.dipte...pid=196258 are much better, and even there we had a controversial discussion (BTW Fred Fly = Piet Nord). So Melanostoma spec.
Regards, Sundew

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
