Possible Variable Aphideater - Eupeodes latifasciatus
HQ Area, Fundy National Park, Albert County, New Brunswick, Canada
October 2, 2014
Once again, I feel like Eupeodes latifasciatus is a good fit for this fly. The features I think I see are emarginated abdomen, the clearly constricted yellow bands on the second and third tergites with the anterior margin nearly straight, as well as what appears to be a completely trichose alula. Thoughts?
