Hello Angelika/Reimund,
this is a nice speciment. In my opinion it is not E. similis. It don´t feel like one and the pterostigma look different. Althou I don't know, which species it is. Better look at the wings would be helpful. And what look most important to me is, that this speciment do have yellow femur.
I hope, someone will tell us, which Eristalis it is.
Best wishes

I'd say female E. interrupta (stigma, antenna, legs)

...and also the look of hairs, face etc.

hello,

until today we have no name for this sweety !!

Is there no chance by this fotos??

Could it be a very common Eristalis tenax ??

Or is it so difficult that it get only to Eristalis sp. ??

Please tell me your opinion.

greetings

Angelika/Reimund,
nothing is really difficult as soon as we can see all the details we need to key a species out. The pictures have their limits. To tell you the truth, I am to your side to say it's Eristalis similis, but without seeing clearly the pterostigma, it's hard to prove. This is for sure not E. tenax, and E. interrupta has usually white hind margins on tergits.
Stephane.
 
Reimund Ley
hello Stephane,

thanks a lot for your answer !!

We call this sweety Eristalis cf. similis,

we hope that this is OK.


best regards
