Fine Hairs - _TNY_9120

While on a photo walk along a seldom used forest road outside Härnösand, I found this rather attractive hoverfly which I initially thought was a female Xylota jakutorum, but thanks to the wonderful insight of Frank.Vassen mentioning the white hairs in the hind femurs and concluding this to be either a X. florum or a X. meigeniana. Thank you Frank!

 

The detail on this one came out pretty darn nice. I'm not really sure what I did differnently, but the faine hairs on this one look really sharp here.
