Any suggestions of the identity of this fly with a distinctive "snout" would be appreciated. Best wishes, Martin Martin Cooper attached the following image:  [143.06Kb] Edited by Martin Cooper on 04-05-2014 07:53 |

It is a Syrphid, a Rhingia, and probably R. rostrata. Try the key http://web.archiv...n_key.html. Regards, Sundew |

Thanks again for the ID Sundew and the link to the key. I've taken a look at these and at the Stubbs and Falk Hoverfly book and agree with R rostrata based on the lack of any sign of a black margin to the tergites. |
