Hi
this pics are from 10.07.2009, old pics. But could it be, that this is Eristalis alpina?
Switzerland, about 1460 msm, in blooming meadow, Tannenboden-Flumserberg
Thanks, kind regards, Brigitte

Hi Brigitteu,
I'm sorry ... this is not
E. Alpina ! It could be a dark form of female
E. arbustorum or
E. interrupta. I need a picture of the face to give you the correct ID. ;)

Hi Pierre-Yves
it's a pitty, but the day for alpina will come :-)
No pic from face. 2009 was the first intensiv year my insect-photos. I didn't made turn-round-the-specimen pics in 2009 :|
So it will stay Eristalis sp.
Thank you! Kind regards, Brigitte (only Brigitte, u is from family name)

I would say the very minimal stigma points in the direction of
Eristalis nemorum .

I agree with Jan for the same reasons (
E. nemorum is a synonym of
E. interrupta, Fauna Europeae only knows
E. interrupta) ;)
Don't despair Brigitte :) You will find
E. alpina !!
