Hello,

The hind femora is not arched and the arista is plumose : Volucella bombylans seems to be a better fit.

Hi,

end of May also seems to late for C. ranunculi.

Very long hairs in the arista and some traces of M1 vein orientation (it doesn't continue straight to wing border quite in axis with R4+5...you cannot see how it changes direction here, but you can check that it doesn't continue straight) help guiding to Volucella, and considering the rest of the characters --> female V. bombylians
