Eristalis pertinax Drone Fly

..at least I think it's the Eristalis Pertinax species, could be the tenax. Anyway, spotted this one on a shrub in the garden. Just as I was taking the shot it lifted its hind legs up for some reason. Not sure but there ya go

Good capture. Fraid i've never learnt to distinguish between the 2 species.

Seems little difference between the two Ian, either way, it's good and sharp m8.
