Hi, I can't identify this S. , please help. Got it April 24th, this year in Germany, Lower Saxony, Celle, close to a small river.
Thanks for your support,
Norbert
Thanks all readers and for the comments, but after all, for me it's not clear which nice fly shows us her back here
Norbert
Now it's identified, thanks

Hello,

I don't know Eristalis jugorum in nature, but this fly looks a lot like Myathropa florea to me.

Hi Juergen,
thanks for your comment, I didn't know these species, so I'm not able to decide which one it is now. Cool

In summer we have lots of E. jugorum here. This picture does not show E. jugorum. Look in the gallery.
Best regards Maja

With these thorax markings and the abdomen colouration I am sure, it IS Myathropa florea. I would bet on it...
