I think it is E. corollae, as the yellow bands reach the margins of the abdomen.

and there is a white collar on the front of the thorax.

Eudasyphora cyanella



Root Maggot Fly Sp?

Anthomyia Sp?

There are three other similar Anthyomia Sp. One of which is extremely rare and needs examination of the male genitalia to id it.

You need a number of shots at different angles to progress the id.

Eristalis intricaria?





Males of P frutetorum have a long haired tubercle on the hind femur.

This one does not have the tubercle BUT males and females are a bit more tricky to identify as the eyes of both sexes do not meet on the top of the head.

Then you need to check the shape of the genital area. Tapered in females.

In this case I don't think the genital area is tapered so possible an example of P versicolor.
