Dear forum,

I took a picture of this syrphid today on a window inside my glasshouse. Could it be a Meliscaeva sp?
Thanks for help,

Best regards,
Niek

Not shure, but it seems more like a Platycheirus albimanus to me...
Could be wrong, better wait for the experts :p

bye, jonas

This time it is Platycheirus albimanus (at least 99% - there are a few rare species in Europe which look very similar).
