I am not specialist; however, I have already submitted here a similar fly as Xanthogramma and wait for confirmation.
I think one of the important difference between Chrysotoxum and Xanthogramma is the shape and colouration of antenna. Black in the former, yellowish brown in the latter genus. Besides, shapes of the yellowish tergal bands on abdomen are also remarkable. Therefore, I propose Xanthogramma for your image.
