Syrphidae to identify, please - Mallota bautias
Sherbrooke, Quebec, Quebec, Canada
June 21, 2008
Hello all,

I photographied this Syrphidae last June at Sherbrooke Quebec (near Vermont, USA).

I'm suspecting Genus Merodon or Mallota but I'm not sure.

Any idea about the Genus/Species???

Thanks again for your always appreciated help :-)

Michel

PS. Is it a female?
