Hello, I looked though the gallery and think that the first fly most resembles Eristalis alpina. The photo was taken at an altitude between 300 and 420 m in July in Germany, Saxony. From the name I would expect that the fly lives in the mountains at a higher altitude. So it belongs probably to another species, but which one? Could the second one be an E. lineata? (Photo from the beginning of May, Germany) Thank you, Marion Marion Friedrich attached the following image:  [118.88Kb] Edited by Marion Friedrich on 19-02-2013 22:36 |

Is it possible to tell more than Eristalis? I attach another re-sharpened picture from the first fly. Thank you, Marion Marion Friedrich attached the following image:  [124.21Kb] |

The first and last are a female Eristalis rupium. I hesitate identifying the second one, I thought about E. pertinax, but that is not the case because the front tarsae are dark. It doesn't look like a second rupium either. |

Hi Mark, thank you very much for ID of E. rupium. I changed the title. Maybe somebody has an idea regarding the second fly. Best wishes, Marion |
