Is this a sirphid?
Taken in the wetland, Suarez Pond in Motril, Granada, Spain.
I confuses her mouth, big and white projection.
What is the name of this insect?
Thanks for your help and greetings

Yes, it is a Syrphidae. Now wait for the real hoverfly lovers.

Hi,
This is
Neoascia podagrica, or the North-African sibbling species
clausseni.
Do you have more pics.. show them all please.
Did you also collect it?
We need the specimen to confirm it.
N. clausseni is not known from Europe yet... So, go back there, collect as many as you can find and send them to me (for instance).
Greetings, André

Hello.
I found only one individual, I uploaded the two best photos I could do before flying away ....
If when you return to the marsh, you'll find it again, try to capture to proceed forthwith.
Very grateful for your interest. Greetings

Go back there with the beginning of the new season (starting in february) and try to find them again, and collect them, put them in 70% alcohol and send it to me :)
Gracias, André

New Hi Andre.
Looking insects already on the forum BIODIVERSITY VIRTUAL Spain, I see that now there are more possible bugs with the same identification in other locations of the Iberian Peninsula. Not the first, therefore, identified in Spain
This is one of the links

Hi Maherjos,
The only reliable identification can only be done with the male specimen, and look at the genitalia.
There is no official publication that I know about, which confirms the occurrence in Spain, though it can be expected.

Okay Andre.
We hope to be lucky to capture the potential insect
