Hi,
These
Eristalis syrphids remain difficult to me. Is this big female an
E. pertinax? The yellow feet match, but I expected the black facial central stripe to be broader...
Photographed at the Baltic Island of Usedom in August.
Thanks, Sundew

Strange flash-/photoshop-effects... exceptionally thin facial stripe, but matches
pertinax because of the yellow tibia. Are they really this light, not shopped? Because the stigma resembles
similis (=
pratorum).
