Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Syrphus from 23.09.20 --> S. ribesii

Hello,

this 10 mm female from a hedge near a small stream (northwest Germany) has yellow hind femora, so it should be Syrphus ribesii. But I can't remember having seen such longitudal thorax stripes in Syrphus... Also the abdomen bands are rather narrow and dark. Is it really a Syrphus?

That's ribesii, indeed.
