Can one of you experts confirm this is E. pertinax, female ? The head just doesn't look right to me.

Trying to confirm the ID I realise I should have got a clearer shot of the tarsi and back

Thanks, Andrew

Hi Andrew
Not an expert but it does appear to be E.pertinax Female. Best to show a dorsal shot of Syrphids as it does make it easier.
Attached is a live shot of the same type to compare the faces.
