Hi,
The eyes, of this beautiful but creepy fly are really huge!
Size is about 10-12 mm, if I remember well.
19th January 2010, Paraty-Brazil, rain forest near a river.
Thank you!
Myriam (the one from Gent) :)

Just a guess but it looks more like a syrphid to me (note the wing venation) :)

Indeed it's a syrphid, a female Ornidia obesa!
Greetings

Amazing, never would have thought it was a Syphid from the looks, (forgot about the wing venation!)
Thank you Chris!
Great Gerard to have found Genus and specie!
Thanks a lot!
I think that will be an easy name to remember with the specie name 'obesa' :D
Myriam :)
ps. I have changed to title for future reference..
