I have recently returned from co-leading a Botanical tour in Bulgaria where this large fly (body length 20mm) was visiting Verbascum flowers at a roadside stop near Dospat on 28 June 2012. Any suggestions on identification would be appreciated. Very many thanks Alan Alan Outen attached the following image:  [105.4Kb] |

I'd be happy to check the identity for you. It is recorded as widespread in that part of Europe, including Bulgaria.
