Hey Heteropteran,
This is a fly which belongs to the Syrphidae, it is Episyrphus balteatus the only species of this genus and it is very good charackterised by the two black stripes on each tergit with one often mustache shaped (T3,T4).

Thank you very much for exact explanation!Grin
I am new to Dipteras so I can't still distiguish them easily.

NO, take care. There are other species of Episyrphus.

This one is a female, and has its place in Syrphinae sub-family --> so its larvae are "aphidiphagous" (aphids' eaters)
