Conopidae...Wing colouration matches Physocephala sp in the gallery....but I'm definately no expert.

No. You have fallen in a ptifall. Grin

This is Syrphidae. Ceriana! Grin
maybe the C. cf. vespiformis.

Ceriana conopsoides, scutellum is bicoloured. In C. vespiformis it is solely yellow.

yes, that's it caliprobola. That's why I was not sure about the species.


And it is *pitfall* not ptifall. Grin

Roger, soon you will be able to ID many flies! Smile You have time. Just enjoy. Grin
