This is one of a series of photos sent to me by Stéphane Brule today - mostly taken during walks around his home. Could anyone suggest a name? :)

It reminds me of a few syrphid genera that we get here and it has the
vena-spuria so it should really be Syrphidae ... but it is really rather beautiful :)

A female Ocyptamus sp. would be my idea about this one, nice color!

Thanks ... yes Stéphane's flash seems to have brought out the colours really well :)

Ocyptamus johnsoni (Curran). I know it from Surinam, where it is not uncommon.
