Yes, its The Marmelade hoverfly - Episyrphus balteatus; The colour can vary due to the temperature during the developement of the cocoon/pupa (How do you call it for hoverflys?) |

15mm is not small, for a hoverfly, it is big!  This one must have been around 11 mm? Estimating sizes is not so easy  |

Yes, indeed, you're right. The size is probably around 11-12 mm. Thanks |
