Hello Michael,

Criorhina ranunculi is an early spring species (March/April). This is Merodon equestris.
Best regards,
Jürgen

it is very variable, and one can see the "Eristalini wave" in wing venation, so most other furry Syrphidae (Volucella bombylans for example) can be ruled out.
Best regards,
Jürgen
