I came across this pretty golden hoverfly hovering around a rotting fallen branch over a wet ditch at the edge of a coastal lagoon among heathland at Studland heath in Dorset UK. It land and began to lay eggs on the branch and I managed to get a few shots in profile only. I'm pretty sure it's Callicera aurata based on leg markings, but please advise if It's anoter Callicera. It's a rare fly in the UK, but recoded in Dorset.
