Yes, picture 1 shows a female of E. lineata. Picture 2 is a female of eristalis arbustorum, because of the completely white face and the long haired arista, which is just visible. The female of Eristalis abusiva, which looks much like this, has a bare arista! greetings, Gerard Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

Hi I would call the first picture E horticola in the UK, but I asume it is now known as E lineata (must try to keep up).
