Hello,

I saw this fly. Following M.P. van Veen's key, I'm arriving to Epistrophe euchroma.
Needless to say that I'm absolutely not sure. Can some of you confirm or infirm?

Thanks in advance.

I don't see the additional spots at the margin so characteristic for euchroma.
Why not Meliscaeva (Episyrphus, if you like) auricollis maculicornis ?

Theo,

Thanks for the pointer. I'll redo my job.
