Another syrphid from the same place in C Spain: Rivas-Vaciamadrid. Again, taken on the 6th March 2011. I suspect it might be Eristalinus sepulcralis, but I am not sure and I don't know if any other similar or confusing species exists in the area.

Thanks for any help

Piluca

Another view, showing hairy eyes.

It is aeneus, the other species of Eristalinus, looking like sepulchralis.

Thanks a lot, André!

Only that I am even more confused now :D I really have problems to separate those two species :o
