 Brachypalpoides lentus has the black tip of the abdomen, while the abdomen of Chalcosyrohus piger is enitrely red. Unfortunately, it is not clearly visible from your picture.

 we have a look in the Syrphidae-Gallerie and mean to see
that our fly has a shadow of black tip of the abdomen,
but as you say it is not very clearly.

Here are two fotos from gallerie:

comments are welcome!!

 It's a male Chalcosyrphus piger. The most striking difference with Brachypalpoides in pictures like this is the thickness of the hind femur. In brachypalpoides the hind femur is much more slender as it is in piger. Find brachypalpoides pictures and compare and you'll see what I mean.
Greetings,

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
