Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Syrphus torvus? (female)

Hello,

This richly coloured syrphid was feeding on Agastache in my garden, south of Lincoln UK. 10th August.

It looks to have fine hairs on the eyes, but are there any other clues to the ID? I'm including a blurred photo as it gives a better idea of the hind femur.

Any clues appreciated, (3 pics)

Janet:)
