What confuses me a little is the color of the wings. Was it due to the influence of sunlight that it looked bluish from the original which was completely black? That adds to the variety of colors that it has. Pigmentation has an important role in controlling the body temperature of the dronefly or Eristalis tenax. The black area in the center of the abdomen can absorb solar radiation and warm the dorsal blood vessel. I think these pictures I take show how it is absorbing that solar radiation. It seemed like it was on purpose like standing up giving that back to the rising morning sun.
Even though it resembles a honey bee, it is easily clear that it does not have the narrow waist separating between the thorax and abdomen like honey bees have. It also only has two wings whereas the honey bee has four. But it is called a dronefly because of its resemblance to a honey bee (the drone is the male honey bee).
The common dronefly is a species of hover fly that makes up the family Syrphidae. Short brownish yellow hairs on the thorax and the first segment of the abdomen indicate adult flies. If you look closely, you also see a yellow-orange band that crosses the 3rd abdominal segment. Although it is not as specialized in pollination as the honey bee, but as one of the species in Diptera, it plays an important role in the pollination of agricultural biodiversity and various other plants.
