Number 2 of 5 fly species that I photographed in Panama (feb 2012) but have not yet been able to identify.
Shot taken in El Valle, Panama.
Who can help?
Thanks in advance,
David

Syrphidae, could be Palpada which has a lot of species in the tropics.

Yes, a male of Palpada sp. I'm not sure about the species...

Thanks Gerard and John,
Could it be Palpada albifrons?
Regards,
