Hi,
This little black syrphid was found on a buttercup 21 June 2008 (Helsingborg, Sweden)
Any chance of an ID?
Thanks!

To give an idea of the size (the Buttercup was about 12m wide)

This one belongs to the group of black-legged bare-eyes Cheilosia species, like there are Ch. nigripes, Ch. antiqua. Difficult to ID from a picture, personally I'd stick to sp.
