Hello friends, some help with the ID of this one?
Found in Antananarivo, Central Plateau, about 1000 meters over sea, in a garden inside the city.
Thanks in advance,
Isidro

Not Syrphidae - this one is Stratiomyidae, so best in "Diptera: adults" forum

I tought it was an Stratiomyidae first, but after that I look at the antennae... these antennae cannot be from a Stratiomyidae

There are plenty of the subfamily Sarginae with antennae like that.

Oh! Thanks!
Probably it's a Sarginae then?
