Lovely capture- can only guess on Sphaerophoria scripta female - looks rather similar to this one https://diptera.info …gallery.php?pho​to_id=3079 (external link)

That looks good, lovely bright yellow scutellum on this specimen. Hadn't realised the females were so much stouter than the slender males.

If you post hoverflies to the facebook hoverfly group with a grid reference they get recorded and they will give you an ID.

Very good do you submit these to the hoverfly recording scheme?
On an urelated note (apologies if I have asked before)
Have you ever compared your Canon camera and 100mm f2.8L Macro IS with your Olympus gear?

I haven’t done a controlled comparison but I could do if it helps anyone. Suffice to say I find the Olympus is my go to camera now for general macro; the 100L/5D has taken a back seat. This is mainly due to ease of carrying and automated focus bracketing.
The MPE65 sits on my 5D as the Oly is less capable for anything smaller than an ant.
