very likely female E. aeneus - but the reliable character to tell a female aeneus from sepulchralis, the pilosity of the eyes, is not clearly visible.
aeneus: only upper half of the eyes hairy
sepulchralis: eyes entirely haired
Greetings, Eric

Hello Eric thank you for the Answer of female Eristalinus cf. aeneus. Perhaps I'll find this species again next year. Then I'll photograph its eyes first thing.

Kind regards Karl.
