Hi, I took the following images in April this year in south western France. I'm fairly sure it's a female Eristalinus, is it possible to say which species it is (and are there more species in the genus than the two we get in the UK (sepulchralis and aeneus))?

(larger versions of the images can be seen by right clicking on them in flickr)

Many Thanks
