Hello everyone!
Here is a small hoverfly that it is difficult for me to identify ...
I will need your science.
6mm
close to shore, Charente-Maritime in France (City: Talmont)
Thank you very much for your help;)
Benoît

Thank you Paul!
I tried to determine the species.
With the Van Veen, I find
Cheilosia pubera.
What do you think?

Paul is not right. This is a male in the genus Melanogaster, so you should look in van Veen for that genus....

Ah!
Things get complicated .... ;)
Well, I'll look at of this the side ...
I come back with a proposal!
I am disappointed in the size of the insect,
it measures 6mm and not 11mm as described above.
