Roadside at 700m above sea level, aride area near Salalah/Oman, only this on picture, perhaps 8mm - can you please help with identification? Thanks a lot, Jörg

Hi,

Eristalinus taeniops, with those beautifully striped eyes.

Best,
Jonne

Yes, I tried to find her again for a face shot, but I was not lucky :-( Thank you so much!

I have two more flies which now remind me of E. taeniops - could that be? Tthis one from Amman/Jordan. Thank you so much, Jörg

And this one from Salalah/South-Oman...

Hi,

Could you make separate post for these different flies? They are an Eristalinus and a Paragus, two totally different genera.

Best,
Jonne
