Hoverfly

DateMon 2013-03-11

From last autumn: a female Eristalis pertinax (Diptera: Syrphidae).  An "entirely orange front tarsus" and "the hind tibia is pale in the basal half" (quotes from British Hoverflies, Stubbs and Falk, 2002, page 292).

Photos taken in Whiteknights Park, Reading, UK, on 2012-10-30.
