Eristalis arbustorum (f)
Another attempt at 'identify the hoverfly'. The loop in the wing vein is there so it's Eristalini tribe. As far as I can see the face has no black stripe, the lower back leg parts (tibia and metatarsus) are the same thickness and the wing stigmas are diffuse. These are characteristics of E. arbustorum, but if it isn't the case please let me know.
Photographed on umbillifer flowers in the grounds of Minsmere Holidays, Suffolk.
