- Eupeodes latifasciatus

This is interesting in having the yellow markings overlapping the tergites which is usually used as a way to separate Syrphus from Eupeodes. The abdomen has a ridge and the fifth tergite is yellow with a black central spot. Syrphus doesn`t have such wavy marking, the frons and colour of hair on the thorax make me confident this is Metasyrphus latifasciatus which also can have the yellow markings overlapping the sides of tergites.
