Hoi Nadine, probably a female Eristalis arbustorum, the other possibility (Eristalis abusiva) is much less abundant! Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

Abusiva female has a quite distinctively colored beautiful reflection on the tergites (but risky on a pic like this). And both sexes have an almost bare arista (which is not visible on this pic). |
