Hello!

Not sure without seeing the fore tarsi. Could be Eristalis pertinax or interrupta. The latter has dark tarsi and is smaller.

Nor the another images show more details from tarsi. Thank you!

This is certainly pertinax. In addition to the overall appearance the long pterostigma is well visible. Therefore it cannot be interrupta. But Eristalis similis (= pratorum) is very similar to pertinax and can be separated best by the colour of the fore tarsi (pertinax entirely yellow, similis black).
