•  Neutral  Support Very nice picture, excellent DOF. Looks like male on top. Missing species name though (shouldn't be that difficult with a little bit of effort) Lycaon 00:19, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Did a little bit of effort myself (5 minutes on Google). The species is Melangyna viridiceps (Macquart, 1847). It is often referred to in Australia as the Common Hoverfly and belongs to the subfamily Syrphinae of the family Syrphidae. -- Lycaon 08:45, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
