This hoverfly was found i a lush forest edge, close to streaming water 24th of june, about 150 km west of Stockholm, Sweden. I suppose it is an Eristalis, but which one of them?

Janis,

Looks like a female arbustorum to me. But I am no specialist, so you better wait for more expert opinions. :|

¡Saludos! :)

Sounds like a good suggestion to me. Here's a photo from a different angle where the front is more visible.
