That helps! ;) I'm thinking this may be
Eristalis anthophorina, but I'm not familiar with the species, so best to wait for Gerard or another grand master to confirm.

Thanks Tony, I'll waiting for Gerard :)
I think you are right though. Didn't have this species in my mind, it is not common i Denmark.
Best Regards
