Ah yes. I had taken a picture of this species a few days ago at another place, but was not quite sure if this one was the same.

The second is very nice! It is a male of the species that was formerly known as Megasyrphus annullipes or Megasyrphus erraticus.
Nowadays it belongs in the genus Eriozona, so this is a male of Eriozona erraticus!


Interesting! I had this species (I think) in last August, but the stripes seemed to be a little narrower and more pure yellow:
