Hello,
another rather big (~16 mm) Eristalis (female) at a forest path (northwest Germany).

I cannot be sure from this photo (and with my Alzeheimer :-)), but you need what is on my old picture: plumose arista, long pterostigma (you have this) and dark tarsi.
Best regards
Matej

Hello Matey
thank you! I'm not 100% sure about the plumose aristae, but I think, the other characters are present in my fly.
