Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Eristalis arbustorum?

Picture taken in the Stavanger area, Norway, 24th of july 2011. A previous suggestion of ID said Eristalis arbustorum.
I have since then studied pictures of this species but not found one with the characteristic two white stripes between the two white bands
two and three (counting from below). Any suggestions? Is it possible that it is not a hover fly.
