How about Parhelophilus .... female?

Parhelophilus rex, I think :D

Is there any (structural) reason this could not at least be Parhelophilus? Again, I see plenty of affinities with this individual and others we have been discussing.

We can`t see the tip of the hind tibia. It looks different from the Parhelophilus rex pictures. This was a very tiny fly. The abdomen looks narrower.They are very difficult, as so many look similar. There are no features that seem specific. We can`t see the face. I can`t even guess at this one.....

Understood.

And thanks! I hope you don't mind indulging in the discussion. There is much to learn and I feel we are getting closer.

Moved from Eristalinae.

Probably Lejops but a few Helophilus hybridus look somewhat similar:

Moved for expert attention

Moved from ID Request.

Thanks for cropping. :)

You'll improve your chances for IDs...

...if you crop your pics as close to "just the bug" as possible. Only you and the editors have the ability to view the full-size image. Everyone else is left looking at a little fly in a lot of unnecessary background. :)

You can click on "edit" and upload a cropped version. It will replace the current pic.

Thanks Ken. I have now replaced the original picture with a bigger image.
