It looks a pretty good match for a summer female Dasysyrphus albostriatus, at least according to Stubbs and Falk (British Hoverflies). The abdomen markings are wrong for D. tricinctus, venustus and pinastri, and the white lines on the thorax would pretty much clinch it if it was in Britain. However, I don't know if you have any other species in Switzerland that might look similar. |
