Hi all,
I pictured this
Cheilosia specimen in my garden on 2024-04-04. I could measure it on picture : 9,0mm, it's a male !
Is it possible to ID it ???
Thank you for reading this post and / or commenting about !
Eyes are hairy, but face seems hairy (?)
Terga/tergites are black and black - blue,
seta at the end of scutellum are long and black,
setae around abdomen are yellow/orange,
Arita seems bare and black.
We seems to be in the Cheilosia proxima group :
Cheilosia proxima
Cheilosia velutina
Cheilosia uviformis
Cheilosia aerea
Cheilosia rufimana
And I think I can see the "sablier" / hourglass on the third "tergites" / terga of some pictures
Which would ID
Cheilosia rufimana
Please help !!!
If you need more picture or details , please ask, I will have a look for...
Thank you again for reading and/or commenting,
Have a nice day,
Didier
