I would say that it is Hydrophoria silvicola, but to be sure I would need to see the scutellum covered with hairs, lower calypter projecting, and proboscis shining black. None of these are very clear in the photo. |

None of these are very clear in the photo. I have no better picture from proboscis. A foto with a slightly different angel shows scutellum with hairs (at both sides). I don't know how to judge length of lower calypter, but it is clearly projecting the upper one, Thank you Klaas Klaas attached the following image:  [141.25Kb] |
