Seems to be a general lack of Syrphus about so far. Only had one which was ID'd by Andre as a male S.torvus. Is this Mrs. torvus.

Hi Lars
Nobody has put their head above the parapet to disagree with your determination, so I assume this is Ms. ribesii. Being politically correct.........:|

I think it is a mrs, since it looks like having laid some eggs somewhere.... :D

Ah, but Ms might have been a bit promiscuous.
