location: Switzerland, 412 müM, again on my balcony date: 20.10.09 size: about 9mm is it Melanostoma, perhaps mellinum? (or scalare?) Thank you! Regards from Swizerland, Syrphidae-Balcony Brigitte brigitteu attached the following image:  [41.97Kb] |

Yes, it's Melanostoma. The frons dust spots looks small so I'd say M. mellinum. A female.

I think it is scalare, but there is some room for discussion 'cause the view on the face is a little bit 'far away'. |

I'll stick with mellinum as I don't see any dust spots to speak of.
