Thank you.

Is dissection necessary to be sure?

Dissection is not necessary, the abdominal pattern it's quite specific for this species but variation are possible. You can see van Stenis key (The West-Paleartic species of Spiomyia Meigen (Diptera, Syrphidae)).

I used van Steenis key, but since I don't have experience with this genus I was not absolutely sure. Thanks again for your help!
