Hello everyone!

Could this be Syritta pipiens?

It seemed too big to me. The yellow spots on the abdomen appeared too small.

Size: over 10 mm (estimated)
Date found: January 8, 2026
Habitat: Herbaceous plants between coastal rocks and road
Location: near Los Silos, Tenerife

No doubt, Syritta pipiens female. Should have better be placed in the Syrphidae subforum.
Best regards,
Jürgen
