I am pretty sure this is Eristalis tenax, but would just like confirmation.

Male, 14mm, from 3 September 2006, east London cemetery park.

Strong and defined facial stripe (1/3 width of face), hind tibia dark, front and mid tarsi dark, eyes have band of dense hair down the middle.

Hello,

I think it is E. tenax.

Sure, the two hairy stripes on the eye give this away.
