Any ideas on this hoverfly?
LordV
Taken Yesterday South coast uk, about 9mm body length.
BTW is this the correct forum or shoud it be in the Syrphid forum?
It was being very brave as the potentilla bush was being patrolled by many specimens of Syritta pipiens which seems to like dive bombing invaders
Thanks Brian V.

It is a Eumerus. Someone with more experience may tell you the species. Wink

Hi Brian. Tough call. Either strigatus or funeralis. Have you got any side views?

The rounded third antennal segment, well-dusted frons and shorter antero-ventral hairs on the basal half of the hind femora all point to funeralis. Nice photos!
