Male Syrphus torvus are usually more densely hairy eyed than this. You really need the specimen, rather than a photo. The hairy eyes are very obvious in males. Ocassionally other species have sparse short hairs, but never as hairy looking as S torvus.

ok.
so, if it's not S. torvus, I think it's S. ribesii.
here is an other vew to have a better look on the hind femora :
