Found this one at the Burn of Valayre feeding on Bog Asphodel. I only have one type of Parasyrphus on my checklist which is P.punctulatus. The photo's in the Gallery and old threads I've checked out seem to show a lighter pterostigma for punctulatus.
Any ideas...

EDIT; Still trawling looking for something that looks vaguely like this and I've come up with another contender, http://en.wikiped...2007-8.jpg. The stipes on the thorax and other bits and pieces on my one seem to match Dasysyrphus albostriatus too....god I hate Syrphids....

EDIT; Alter heading...Was; Parasyrphus / Dasysyrphus ?

Thanks Paul
This is another unrecorded one for Shetland :). HRS has it as scarce in the extreme north of Scotland....http://www.hoverf....php?t=256, and I might even get a dot on their map...http://www.hoverf...p;id=10829.
