My sister has sent me this picture of a fly she has seen this morning in Gijon Botanical Gardens. Can anybody help with ID? Thanks a lot in advance!

Thanks a lot Stephen!!  This has been a great surprise. This Syrphid is totally new to me. Any chance of getting the species? |

I think it is scutellaris, just a hunch. But collecting them is best!
