hello this syrphidae I found today 30-08 in Voeren,Belgium...I think it is an Epistrophe...but which one?
Well, actually i'm not sure, because by most Epistrophe the antennas seems to be yellow...not with this specimen....but I know you know :) thanks in advance...chris

edit: could this be E. ochrostoma?....
edit 2: no, it is not
