Hello all.

I have a problem with something that should be pretty straightforward:
This male looks like Eristalis arbustorum i.e. the eyes touch but the arista doesn't seem to have the longer hairs and tibia 2 is not black on the top? On the other pictures I made of E. arbustorum the hairs on the arista are clearly visible.

The pictures on the internet on both E. arbustorum and E. abusiva species are not much of a help and E. abusiva is not in the Diptera Gallery so I better ask. B)

Thanks!
