Brachypalpoides lentus has the black tip of the abdomen, while the abdomen of Chalcosyrohus piger is enitrely red. Unfortunately, it is not clearly visible from your picture. |

we have a look in the Syrphidae-Gallerie and mean to see that our fly has a shadow of black tip of the abdomen, but as you say it is not very clearly. Here are two fotos from gallerie: https://diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=1888 https://diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=2871 comments are welcome!! best wishes Angelika/Reimund |

It's a male Chalcosyrphus piger. The most striking difference with Brachypalpoides in pictures like this is the thickness of the hind femur. In brachypalpoides the hind femur is much more slender as it is in piger. Find brachypalpoides pictures and compare and you'll see what I mean.
Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
