I think this one may be Myopa variegata, but Dave Clements or another conopodist will correct if I'm wrong.

Beautifull picture Patrick!

Tony correctly identified this as Myopa variegata. The clear wings, without black or white markings and the silver spot on the scutellum give it away.

Dear Patrick,

Very nice species and very nice pictures!
In the key I recently published as a pdf, the only Myopa species lacking is this one: http://waarneming...en_tel.pdf

Would you be so kind as to grant me permision to use one of these photos for the key 2.0?
Thank you in advance.

Best wishes,
John
