Any idea? I don't think it is E. tenax but I cannot go beyond that. Sorry I don't have more than these two views. But I can get more detail from the original photos, if it is required.

I think Eristalis tenax is correct.
Reasons: There appears to be two rows of hairs on the eyes, most visible in the second pic.
Front tarsi are black
Hind leg appears to be inflated, although I can't see if it's all dark.
I have late E. tenax which look like this, and have dark markings on the wings.
