Hello
I found this hoverfly around a small forest pond. I think it's either a
Xylota (
abiens or close) or
Chalcosyrphus nemorum. Is it possible to know the species with this single picture ? This hovefly was quickly distrurbed by a male
Helophilus and I didn't see it again.
Bois de la Couronne, Clicly-sous-Bois, Seine-Saint-Denis, Île-de-France, France
30th of April 2022
Body length : around 13 mm ?

Chalcosyrphus , should be C. nemorum, male.
