Comment Helophilus species are resembling each other quite a bit. H. pendulus is a hoverfly occurring in Central and northern Europe (incl. Iceland) ([1], [2]). It does not occur in North America. H. groenlandicus ([3]), of which I unfortunately didn't find an illustration yet, and H. hybridus ([4]) at the other hand are holarctic species, also occurring in Canada. You should re-evaluate your identification. Postponing support until then. Lycaon (talk) 04:48, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Read this, please.  Richard  [®]  10:03, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the PDF: an old but interesting key. I'm even less convinced now ;-). These flies are difficult, and the distinguishing features (face, hind femur/tibia) are not clearly visible on the picture. I think we need the opinion of a syrphid taxonomist here.

Thanks, as it is a very worthy image. Lycaon (talk) 14:17, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know. M. hybridus could be excluded [5].  Richard  [®]  15:13, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support But a wrong ID is far worse than no ID at all. I would appreciate it if you could investigate! Maedin\^talk 07:23, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
