Hi Lars Looks like Platycheirus scambus (F) in the Gallery, but wait for confirmation from the Experts  Regards Roger Edited by Roger Thomason on 11-01-2009 02:55 |

Hi Roger, and thanks. I must learn to look through the whole gallery and not just bits and pieces  It looks indeed like the P. scambus in the gallery except that one has a yellow face and mine has a grey one. Could be an age thing perhaps. Or just normal variations. I'll edit the title and wait for the Experts. |
