Syrphus sp. (ribesii/vitripennis) are almost impossible to identify from picture. One should see de trichosity of the basal wing cells and/or the colour of the stout short hairs on the 3th femur. |

But if I look at the eyes, do eye (  ) see short hairs there? Thát would make it Syrphus torvus, male. |
