Moved from Flies.

Placement

Please sort to genus. This is a nice picture that is not being seen where it should be. It sits under the radar here.

Fly

Andy, I didn't move it to a page because I wasn't sure of the ID. Are you saying my ID is correct? If so, I will move it.

Thanks,

… Bob Moul, 1 June, 2008 - 12:59pm

Sorry to sound like a scold. I assumed that because you had a tentative species ID, that you were confident about the genus. I would say it is certainly Eristalinae and probably Eristalis. Cheers.

No Problem

Thanks a lot, Andy. I'll move the photos to the proper page. :)

Appreciate your reply.
