Hi, compared to Helophilus pendulus females in the gallery the only difference is that this one has yellow antennas. Is it relevant? Found in June, NE Hungary, meadow.

Not Helophilus.
Parhelophilus versicolor or frutetorum

Thank You! Does this other image help to decide which species?

it seems to be P. versicolor (looking to the occiput, which has yellow hairsCool) if you have another image in which we can see better the leg 3...for versicolor - without a posteroventral tubercle, for frutetorum - with a tubercle, bearing a fan of bristly, black hairs.
