Identification of Diptera (flies, mosquitoes, etc.)

And what is it (...4914)" belly up " lies?

Like, someone from the Bombyliidae, but who? Fotkana in Ilovla at the end of July.

The fly is small, but beautiful. At least the family who suggested it. Now such people are on the willow tree, they are interested in aphids.

It can be humpback laphria (laphria gibbosa). 3 cm long, hairy as a bumblebee and buzzing loudly.

Maybe someone will recognize this fly. She has an unforgettable beautiful face and a surprisingly easy-going character! Taken yesterday.

Help me deal with the fly. On August 28, it was met in Bryansk on the Canadian goldenrod.

And this is probably a male, if it sucks nectar instead of blood?
Discovered on September 16 in a meadow.

Thank you.
I'm also puzzled by the red-eyed ones. In the one on Veronika Dubravnaya (31.05), I suspect tolkunchik. In the one that is sprawled on the leaf (07.09) - a male dilophus. And I don't know what to think about my friend on the umbrella (11.06) at all.

Help me determine
Yaroslavl region

Thank you.

This is the first time I've seen one like this

Moscow region fly.Taken in the shadows. on a raspberry leaf, the shooting time is August.

Your fly interested me, because I found a dead one on the window with similar signs (although not quite). At the dacha, Smolny region, Gagarinsky district. September, I flew in for the winter (there are a lot of them in this gldu, I've never seen so many). My fly I thought it was infected with something (bacteria?) and that's why it has such a belly, although I jokingly called it the Swollen belly of pivasik.

Here is the face of Helophilus. August 24.
And here are the paws.

1 - H. trivittatus
2 - H. pendulus

With an addendum. that the first ilnitsa is a male, and the second is a female.
However, no, the second one also seems to be a male.
Definitely a male. Then the picture Valentinus @ 21.09.2011 09: 41 shows a male at the top and a female H. pendulus at the bottom. A shortened black spot on the second tergite marks the male.

Try to distinguish males from females in sirfids not by their shortened spots, but by their eyes.
The eyes on the forehead touch-male, no-female. There are exceptions, but it works well for the genera Helophilus and Eristalis.

You didn't read my post carefully. I was referring to the French: http://www.insecte.org/spip.php?article25.
Don't tell me I'm trying to prove that the French fly-crawlers are better than ours-I don't think so, and I don't think anything at all. I just asked first, and only then came across the specified page.
So, if you believe the French, then the eyes do not touch either in female ilnits or in males, just the eye lines are directed differently.
If you don't agree with the French, show me the girl with the touching eyes, and I'll be happy to believe you.
The same goes for spots. I prefer facts to mere words.

Yes, sorry, I didn't look at the material. Not touching, but just much narrower. All the same, the differences are easily visible. Of course, the color is also different, especially in Eristalis, but to distinguish females from males, just look at the eyes. No questions about "male or female" will arise in principle.

And not gummy.

This is a honey bee, Apis mellifera. The British folk name marmalade hover-fly refers to the babbling fly Episyrphus balteatus.
