 Hi All

I managed to get a couple of half decent pictures of a small, dark hoverfly with "metalic" thorax and scutellum.

I have looked through Ball & Morris and I am struggling to find something with the right coloured legs, antenae, markings......

CAn someone put me out of my misery please?

Yours, Gareth
