Number 4 of 5 fly species that I photographed in Panama (feb 2012) but have not yet been able to identify.
Shot taken in Bastimentos, Panama.
Who can help?
Thanks in advance,
David

Syrphidae, probably Toxomerus. In North America these are some of the most common Syrphidae.

Yes, a female Toxomerus sp. There are a lot of species (also undescribed) in the neotropics....

OK, I will label it as Toxomerus sp. female.
Thanks and regards,
