Hi, i was wondering if anybody could offer an ID for this hoverfly - image taken last September whilst moth trapping.

Thanks

Richard

Looks like a Melanostoma female.

My idea would be female Platycheirus sp., mybe P. albimanus because I think I see greyish abdominal spots. Do you have more pictures?
