Helophilus hybridus (m)
A male marsh tiger hoverfly (common name according to Steve Falk) coming in to land on a bramble leaf in Chester Zoo's Butter Hill Meadow property (as the ex-MOD site has now been named).
Two identifying characteristics can be seen clearly. The transverse bars across the abdomen stop well short of the edge and at least half of the hins tibia are dark.
