Any idea? I don't think it is E. tenax but I cannot go beyond that. Sorry I don't have more than these two views. But I can get more detail from the original photos, if it is required. Fenny Compton, August 15th. |

I think Eristalis tenax is correct. Reasons: There appears to be two rows of hairs on the eyes, most visible in the second pic. Front tarsi are black Hind leg appears to be inflated, although I can't see if it's all dark. I have late E. tenax which look like this, and have dark markings on the wings.

I agree with Janet. This is E. tenax.

Thank you so much to you both!! At least I know now what it is! I was confused as I never saw an E. tenax looking like that. Still too much to learn!  |
