The attached photo was taken on 13/02/08 in South East England alongside a rural farm track. The patterning does not appear similar to any Syphidae I have seen. It does seem similar to ' Meligramma trianguliferum ' but suspect it may be to early in the year for this species. I would be grateful for any assistance to ID it or is there just too little detail to say ? I was unhappily only able to get the one photo. Many thanks Gordon Gordon Jar attached the following image:  [120.75Kb] |

Looks like 'Platycheirus scutatus' but I gather some had the gall to split that one up, too.

Nope, it's the omnipresent Meliscaeva auricollis again!  Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
