Hi,
I'm sorting out all my Syrphids from this year and some from last year.
I noticed there is only one picture of a female Eristalis horticola in the gallery so I eventually could add a male?
All pictures were taken in Gent, Belgium

I would love a confirmation of their id.
Thanks! :)

Nr. 1 I'm very unsure about this one.. Date 2nd October

I think the last one should be Eristalis arbustorum (male) ?

The last one could also be abusivus. All others indeed are horticola.

PS: we have a separate forum for Syrphidae. Very handy! :)
