Wow, Jef. very nice! It's a male Sericomyia, but it used to be called Conosyrphus, because of the face. There are two species, endemic for the Caucasus, and I think this should be the male of Sericomyia volucellinus.
Please collect at least one for me! :-)

Thanks Gerard!
I'm sorry. I didn't have my collecting material with me. (which is a big sin, I know!)
