Moved from Palpada.

Indeed, in the genus Palpada
Hello Charles,
This is a male in the genus Palpada, very closely related to Eristalis. In fact, the difference between the genera would not be visible in this picture, but Eristalis is never so strikingly coloured!
There are more pictures of Palpada in the guide.
Greetings,
