I would check also Chalcosyrphus nemorum, I don't know Xylota with yellow "knees". Xylota sp. usually have yellow larger parts of tibia.

On the other hand, the overall look is different.

Yes thanks Treebeard, with the enlarged hind femora, I thinking this is Chalcosyrphus nemorum.

I agree with treebeard but be careful to eliminate Tropidia, which also bear large hind femora.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
