Helophilus trivittatus.
The upper two pictures are females, the third picture is a male!
Greetings, Gerard

Thank you Gerard!

Consequently neither of them are Helophilus pendulus as I formerly thought.

Greetings!

egzuki,

To my experience in lowland Hungary H. trivittatus is by distance the commonest H. species. I am not very good at separating H. species, but I think I observed H. pendulus only once so far, whereas I regularly encounter H. trivittatus. Of cource in the mountains the situation might be different.
