Found in the Scottish Highlands on 31/07/09. Could I have an ID please.

Thanks Jane

This would be Chrysotoxum arcuatum (L) (in some publications C. fasciatum (Müller)).

Thank you Andre. It is a common species here apparently

That is very well possible over there. Nevertheless it looks a lot like some other Chrysotoxum-species, like C. cautum.
