Brigitte, it IS Eristalinus aeneus, female. No shadow of doubt  Not only because it has no trace of hairs on the lower part of the eyes but it has the looks of aeneus. Eristalinus sepulchralis looks different and has obvious hairs all over the eyes.Best Piluca |

Hi Piluca Thanks for confirmation with the differences sepulchralis/aeneus! Both hoverflies I should be able to ID in future. Kind regards, Brigitte |
