Yellow legs -> Syrphus ribesii Smile.

Ah - this is interesting! Till now I only knew Epistrophe eligans, which is clearly different. How do you tell Syrphus and yellow-striped Epistrophe apart?

jizz Grin

the thorax is more dusted en greenish in Syrphus, bands on abdomen are more yellow not orange,... idono

according to the key because the squamae don't have hairs on the middle Frown

this one has the hairs on the scutellum black so it should probably be somewhere around Epistrophe nitidicollis.
