Hi Peter,
It's highly unlikely to be H. affinis, check the map and what is said about it here:

The most common one is H. pendulus, the amount of yellow on the legs does suggest that. It looks like a male.
Apart from another extremely unlikely one, Helophilus groenlandicus, we only have H. pendulus, trivittatus and hybridus of which the latter two don't fit yours.
Janet :)
