I beat this fly from Beech Fagus sylvatica today in N Scotland. A suggestion of its identity would be very welcome. A few images follow. Length was 4.5mm. Thanks for any hints. Murdo Macdonald syrphus attached the following image:  [83.7Kb] Edited by syrphus on 11-07-2020 20:13 |

Thanks, Eric. That looks very probable. Not a family I have engaged with before. |
