Hello,

I had thought this might be Platycheirus splendidus, I have pics of a male on two occasions on 2nd September, and one pic from 6th September.

All taken in my garden a few miles south of Lincoln UK. Old woodlands and heathlands type habitat.

3 pics of the first one (one is a crop), I should put the others on a thread of their own so I will and number them!

Headaches all round. Wink

This looks like scutatus allright.

Thanks Andre, the tarsae sections sort of looked a curved shape which was confusing. Smile
