Saw a lot of beautiful flies in Surinam.
Am I right in assuming that this is a wasp mimic Syrphidae (female)?
edit: no I am not, wing veination says Tachinidae
They were quite abundant in the north.
Location of this one: Republiek (near Zanderij)
Date: March 2018
Thanks in advance for your comment.

Looks like a beautiful Doleschaliini, though some Dexiini can look pretty similar.

Hi Theo,
thanks for your reply.
Could Sophiini be a possibility as well?
I am thinking about Cordyligaster species that look quite similar to this one.
And could this be the male of the same species?:
Regards,
David

Never heard of this tribe, but it looks like a match
