This October 3, 2018 on ivy in the south of France.
I think it's a Syrphidae but I don't see which genus and species.
Thank you for your help

I hesitated to put it on the Syrphidae sub-forum but now I don't know how to upload my post on this sub-forum!
If someone explains the manoeuvre to me, I can try it.
I don't understand English well and use translation software to write!

Hello Liliane D & Jurgen,

Phwew! Again a very nice Syrphidae on Ivy on the forum.

Yes a Syrphidae, a female Milesia semiluctifera! Very nice find.

Kind regards,

Ectemnius

Thank you very much Ectemnius,
I am very happy with this beautiful meeting, especially since last year, also on ivy, I met Milesia crabroniformis.
I see that Milesia semiluctifera is rather southern and its flight period is sometimes indicated as limited to summer but we are in autumn and it is still flying.
