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

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

Nope, it's the omnipresent Meliscaeva auricollis again! Grin

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
