Re: Hover Flies ID
Hi
It's a little difficult without seeing the front legs etc.
They all look to be Eristalini? But my money would be on
1. Eristalis pertinax
2. Myathropa florea
3. Eristalis tenax
unless someone knows better?

Re: Hover Flies ID
Many thanks Mark. Didn't realise that front legs were important. Will remember that next time.
