This beautiful fly was seen last Saturday at Sabi?anigo, Aragon, Spain, in flowers of Angelica archangelica, in open shrubland near a train line. Same size than Chloromyia formosa: 9-10 mm.
Some ideas?
Thanks ;)

Chloromyia, but I will leave it to the others to say whether it is
formosa or
speciosa.

But.... I posted recently a Chloromyia and the eyes occuped all the head. In this fly the eyer are much smaller.
Can be a sexual difference? This one being a female, i that case.

Ahhh, OK. Unfortynately the tarses are not seen in the picture but as in the same place I found Ch. formosa, I let it as Chloromyia cf. formosa.
Many thanks to everybody!!!!!! :D
