Looks can be deceiving, it's hairs on the eyes are visible and look to be in rows, but they are not! Probably an photo effect.
This is a female Eristalis alpina, you can see the heavily dusted front part of the thorax in comparison with the much less dusted hind part!
greetings

hmm. Yes, looks can be deceiving many times.
Gerard do you think that the absense of broad black patch on the wings characteristic for female of E. alpina is also photo effect?
