Hover Fly (Helophilina) - Eurimyia stipata

DNA studies suggest Anasimyia lineatus comprises two species and what previously was Anasimyia lineatus found in Nova Scotia are certainly going to be Eurimyia stipata.

Moved for expert attention
Moved from Helophilus.

Syrphid
Yes, I looked at that but it doesn't have a yellow face. Unfortunately none of my photos show the hind femur clearly enough.Thanks for the comment, Ken.
