 Probably E arbustorum - the face does not appear to have a dark stripe down its centre.

 I'm afraid I have to disagree. The very small pterostigma indicates that it is E. nemorum (= interrupta). And in males E. arbustorum the 3rd tergite usually has larger yellow markings. Besides, this behaviour is typical for Eristalis nemorum. E. arbustorum doesn't do things like this.

 I think you may be right, as the stigma does appear to be sharply defined. However I find that the orange markings vary considerably in both species.

I am sure that I have seen E arbustorum exhibitng this behaviour, or perhaps I should be making a much closer inspection of courting pairs (or triples)? What have others found?

 Oh lovely shot and the facial stripe is clear, so that is E interruptus.Grin

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
