Eupeodes or Syrphus or ?? - Eupeodes fumipennis - Male
Aromas, San Benito County, California, USA
February 8, 2008
Size: ~10mm
Another syrphid in our garden on Euryops. I find it very difficult to differentiate between Syrphus & Eupeodes, as well as Scaeva. I'll post a couple of images, hoping that one or both might be identifiable to genus or even species.
