Two beautiful hoverflies, about 6mm long. Slightly different patterns in the abdomen but I suppose they are both Eupeodes corollae, a fema le and a male. Am I right?

Thank you, Paul and Gerard! It was a surprise because the wing venation looks identical and I thought that Syrphus ribesii didn't have the black stripe on the face. Shock
