Hello,

Syrphus female. If the hind legs are all yellow, it's S. ribesii.

Thanks for the determination. Unfortunately, I have no picture on which the color of the hind legs is clearly visible. I think the lower part of the hind legs could be dark in color.

Mainly the femora must be yellow for S. ribesii.

The femora is yellow, so it is S.ribesii
Thanks for your answer
