Baccha elongata
Baccha elongata is a common hoverfly, but often difficult to find because of its small size and less open feeding habits. This is a hoverfly which prefers areas that are semi-shaded and often occurs discreetly along woodland rides, clearings etc where the vegetation is tall. It's generally dark coloured and hard to follow in flight with the eye.
