Hi,

I went through some galleries, but I couldn't find a match so I don't know what family they belong to.

Found on a wet meadow (sedges and reed), surrounded by forest (Lainzer Tiergarten, Vienna, 8.6.2018)

Cheers,
Lorin

Ok, so Syrphidae it is.
Wing venation reminded me of this family, but I expected enlarged eyes in the male, so I did not follow this route. Obviously not a trait shared among all members of the family.

Is it possible to shift this thread in the syrphid forum, or should I post it there again?
