Hoi Fernando and Andr?,
Indeed it is a Eristalinus, but this is the rarest of the four species in Europe.
This is a female of
Eristalinus megacephalus, easily recognised by the yellow spots on the abdomen. Eristalinus taeniops also has yellow on the abdomen, but it has stripes on it's eyes, not dots like this one!
Nice find!
Greetings, Gerard
