As indicated on a previous thread I made two tours to Bulgaria this year, principally as a Botanist, but inevitably one cannot ignore the rich diversity of spectacular and interesting insects. I photographed a number of flies on each of the tours and have already posted some images. This Syrphid from Bezbog looks as if it might be Chrysotoxum elegans but I am conscious that there might be other similar species in Bulgaria so would welcome confirmation or otherwise from someone more knowledgeable than me.

Many thanks

Alan.

Thank you Paul. So at least I had genus correct but species uncertain.
