2 tips in this photo..

2 tips in this photo..

1) the incision on the margin of the wing... indicates 2 pairs of wings... i.e. not diptera

2) the antennal length is not something you'll find in syrphidae... they could be confused with the more primitive flies (nemotocera), but no nemotocerans look like this
