To exclude
E. lapponicus the wing venation is important (in this species vein R4+5 is strongly bent). It is not clearly seen here. Another quite similar species is
Scaeva selenitica, but it has a swollen frons, dark antennae and a dark ring on the hind tibiae, so it is out.
Eupeodes spec. is OK.
It always pays to compare the pictures and explanation in Steven Falk's Syrphidae collection (
