Good evening,
I am not sure if this one shot will be enough but could somebody please try to identify ? Captured on 13 July 2013, Southern Bohemia, Czech republic.
Thank you, David

The arista seems to be feathery, so it should be a female of
Eristalis arbustorum (compare
http://www.dipter...d_id=55956). Unfortunately we cannot see if the apex of the middle tibia is darkened.
By the way, did you really capture it (in this case, why just one pic? :D), or did you just take a photo?
Regards, Sundew

Thank you Sundew.
I did capture this one but taking a photo is not easy even in captivity :-) Generally, they do not like their photos taken :-)
