No, I can't.
But I can say this is not Eristalis arbustorum. Although I cannot see the face (which would give a clear answer) I think this is more like E. dimidiata.
It is more shiny and the yellow spots on the abdomen are very different from the usual 'hour glass' figure on the abdomen of a male of Eristalis arbustorum.
