Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Which syrphid?

Hello Forum,

that fly I saw yesterday, May 2nd 2008, in Hagen (Northrhine Westfalia, Germany); 175 m above NN, on Cardamine amara growing in an artificial alder marshland. I think, it must be a species of the syrphidae family.

Is a closer ID possible? Please help!

Best regards, Josef

Hello dipdip,

thank you for the quick answering.

My hope with the attached photo, that shows most probably a couple in copula of the same species is, that the fly can get an even closer ID. Is it possible? Which mark is necessary for a final species ID in this case?

Picture data are the same as above.

Best regards, Josef

Neoascia podagrica it's the right answer.

Nice to see the differences in the shape of the snout, within one picture Smile
