Location: Switzerland, highmoor, 948 müM
date: 15.07.09
size: about 10 mm

i'm not sure if we have had this one . . . .or if it is a new one, perhaps even "Xanthandrus"?
Thank you very much for your help!
Regards, Brigitte

Thank you André!
I'm happy - but very astonished - so much different hoverflies! And from most black small syrphidaes I have not taken pics . . . and I was still not high in the mountains . .
