Hello, another Eristalis that is difficult for me to identify. Could you help?

Again, found on 14. July 2016, Stuttgart, Germany.

There are these common ("officially recorded") Eristalis species in this area - so it must be one of this i guess :)

Eristalis alpinus (Panzer, 1798)
Eristalis arbustorum (Linnaeus, 1758)
Eristalis cryptarum (Fabricius, 1794)
Eristalis horticola (De Geer, 1776)
Eristalis interruptus (Poda, 1761)
Eristalis intricarius (Linnaeus, 1758)
Eristalis jugorum Egger, 1858
Eristalis pertinax (Scopoli, 1763)
Eristalis piceus (Fallén, 1817)
Eristalis rupium Fabricius, 1805
Eristalis similis (Fallén, 1817)
Eristalis tenax (Linnaeus, 1758)

This is a male Eristalis pertinax : anterior tarsi yellow (other clues are : abdomen triangular, long pterostigma, this later character is shared with E. similis).
