Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Let's see if I'm learning, Eristalis tenax?

When I came across this Eristalis the other day, the first thing I did (and the only thing as afterwards he disappeared) was to photograph the eyes. If I've understood the explanation of Andre right, that black tuft on the "forehead" should make him Eristalis tenax. How am I doing?
