5.b. Body yellowish haired; abdomen without silverish hair patches -> 6
6.a Head seen in front: along the hind border of the eye a row of black hairs on the head, contrasting with the yellow hairs -> 7
7.b Thoracic dorsum, just before the implant of each wing, with 2-3 yellow bristles (may be hard to see amongst the yellow hairs); head of the halter whitish. 7.5-11mm. -> Bombylius canescens Mikan, 1796
