Couldn't see a clear match in gallery images here, but closest I've found elsewhere with orangey legs, yellowed wing bases and similar thoracic markings is P.angelicae :-

It also seems to conform to Mike's key ( ruling out some by distribution ) :-

Phaonia angelicae is correct. In NL, a common species in the end of summer on flowers.
