Yet another Eristalis sp, I think. A male this time. Can it be ID:ed?

Location: Southeast Sweden (?land)
Date: 2007-MAY-12
Habitat: Garden

Edit: Subject changed (Eristalis sp 3)

Hi Crex,
This is not Eristalis. You can look at R4+5, it is straight, not "U" shaped into r4+5 cell.
It is Epistrophe eligans male.
