This unidentified Syrphid from Ghana was found in Oktober 2016 near Kumasi, Ghana.
Do you think it is possible to ID it to genus? It looks it had some problems getting out of its egg?

It is freshly emerged. Perhaps it came out good eventually. By the looks, it might be a Syritta.

Dear Paul,
thank you for the help - that does explain why it is still so white-ish coloured
(When it is freshly emerged).
