Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Chalcosyrphus valgus

Hi,
I found this Chalcosyrphus sp. on a dead Aspen in the end of May in Saxony (Germany). Ten days earlier I photographed at the same place a male Chalcosyrphus femoratus. Are the hind tibiae enough bended for a female Chalosyrphus femoratus? Halteres seem to be dark yellow on the first picture. Do you agree with C. femoratus or is it a C. valgus?
Greetings
Marion
