I got some interesting shot of syrphid fly. Let me know if you can ID it

Syrphid, photographed in Southern Spain, around 1 cm long.

Where you take the photo? For me it's look like Xanthogramma stackelbergi, certainly not pedissequum.

Indeed probably X. stackelbergi. pleurae between sternite & tergite 3 & 4 are yellow, not black. A view on the wing and on the tergite coloration would be nice to see the other features.

Was taken in Southern Spain.

I have another shot with different angle, maybe can be useful for ID.
