Hello!

This should be Eristalis arbustorum but it looks more like E. interrupta except the stigma is too long. The face doesn't seem to fit arbustorum, but I didn't get a frontal shot. Could it be anything else? It's driving me crazy. :S

Two shots only from which I have made closer crops.

18th July, my garden on Achillea, near Lincoln UK.
