Meliscaeva cinctella on the leaves

I was photographing when i saw this hoverfly. It looked just a little different than what i had seen not to long ago at the time. So i wanted to photograph it, took my shot and got this result!

 

And later when i checked i was right! It was a different species called meliscaeva cinctella (or stomp elfje in my language)!
