That's very right, my fault.

Most pictures of Volucella bombylans, that I found, have a white back. The ones with orange back are black at the pronotum. And they are not so hairy as on my photo. Malota fuciformis fits better - from the coulours. At Arctophila bombiformis I see, that the eyes are less seperated.

I add a picture where the veins are visible
Thanks for your help,
Siga
