Hi

found today, this syrphid. Is it Epistrophe? Is it possible for ID? The colours were such intensiv. Greyish dark antenna.

Switzerland, 16.04.2011, 430 msm, near small wetland and edge of wood, on nettle
I'm sorry, no other angels, the syrphid was very busy and fast in escaping.

Best Regards, Brigitte
