Hi,

this is the second time I have spotted this hoverfly species sitting on the bark of trees.

Is it Brachypalpoides sp. (because of the all black legs)? Or rather a Xylota sp.?

Length approx. 10-12mm

Germany, Niedersachsen, Tister Bauernmoor (peat bog), 27th August 2016

(please see reply for a lateral view :) )

Thanks!
Renate
