Chamaesyrphus? maybe lusitanicus? you should tell us the location exactly
I never saw the specie, so let wait for other opinion.

Best wishes, Amalia

Yes, I agree with Amalia, this should be a Chamaesyrphus, but nowadays it is generally enclosed in the genus Pelecocera!
So this could be Pelecocera lusitanicus!

This seems to be Pelecocera tricincta. in van Veen keys Pelecocera and Chamaesyrphus are two genus differently. concerning what Gerard said before, there is only a genus.
