Beautiful spotting. I love the pollen on it.

Thanks Neilen. These are called flower flies as I just found. Hope we get some ID.

Hi, Nice shot...I recently posted a fly that looks similar to that if not the same , have a look. Otherwise the Sci name(Syrphinae » Syrphini » Syrphus) will help you with a lead! http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/19354159
