Happy New Year to everyone ! Smile

I'd like some piece of advice for this Scaeva sp :

(Plon?vez-Porzay, Brittany, France - 30th july 2007 - 13 mm long)

Following Mark van Veen's online identification key, I just hesitate between S. dignota and S. selenitica.

What do you think about it ? (Sorry, I don't have real side view of the head...)

thanks for your help ! Wink

Top picture does not show the markings going over the edge. I think that means selenitica.
