Hello,
Is this either one of these species, or can a species be given?
13th May 2010, my garden near Lincoln UK.
Thanks for any help!
Janet :)

Nice to see that it is feeding from some leaf :)

That is interesting Andre, the only syrphid I see feeding on leaves usually is Xylota segnis, they zig-zag so quickly too! There seems to be invisible food on the leaf, I don't think there was even aphid dew.
