Alas! I never collect. What's more, I was just strolling around with friends, and could not stop for long. Actually, I realized later, when looking at my pictures at home, that I had missed another fly, probably the male of this same species, which shows as a very out-of-focus ghost on some photographs - just enough to give me heart-ache about it! ;)

Thanks a lot. As I wrote above, there was another fly on the same flowers, which looks like it might be the male E pellucens allright. But the picture was much too blurred to be useful. Yet, the shape and colours are consistent with the ID.
