Hello,
this ~7mm syrphidae is from last april from a coast land in south east Sicily. My guess would be a Cheilosia sp., but this is only a vague speculation. What is it?
Thanks,
Michael

No, this belongs in the Eristalinae, see the loop in R5.

I apologise, I meant Eristalini. ;)

Thank you for the answers. So I suppose nothing more than Eristalini is possible?
