Hello!

After many Melangyna lasiopthalma already in the mid of the month and an Eristalis sp. yesterday, this is my third Syrphid this year. Unfortunately I could only take this bad picture. It was rather large (ca. 12 mm) for the assumed genus. Only the thorax was furry as seen, the abdomen was black and glossy.
