Hello Syrphidaeforum,

I am trying to identify this litthe syrphidae sp.
I have got the impression that this is a Lejogaster sp.
It was shining greenish and rather dark/black with some grey.
I can not find any yellow on the legs (tarsus).
Eyes got no hair, for I can see.
Antenne broad black and no hair on the arista.
The position of the antenne is some under the forehead..
Mouth- and foreheadparts staying to the front.
Cheeks (under eye) got hairs.
Wing got some braunish.., I can not see dark pterostigma on the pictures.

place: N-Holland (near petten)
What kind of Lejogaster(?) is this?

greeting Robert,
