    Species in the Eumerus genus looks visually similar, that's all I could find. Posted one year ago

    Very difficult! It might be Platycheirus sp., such as Platycheirus stegnus:

      I'd say you are spot on. I don't think species will be possible.. the info indicates only males can be id'd to species and I'm pretty sure this one is female, as the eyes are separated. Posted one year ago
