Nice picture, in my experience they are not so easy to put on a picture.
This is not a Syrphus, but something com[pletely different.
In earlier years it was called Megasyrphus annulipes, but nowadays it belongs in the genus Eriozona.
This is the female of Eriozona erratica! Very different from the other species in this genus, the Eriozona syrphoides!
Look for the differences at my pictures at the French site:
