This beauty was in the garden this afternoon, it had a lovely bronze colour body.
I have looked at the site by Han Endt and can't find this as a hoverfly. At first I suspected it to be a Hoverfly - Ferdinandea cuprea, but realised it only had 4 broze stripes where mine has 8. Also the Ferdinandea cuprea is found in woodland areas.
Any ideas please, sorry picture 2 with the most detail isn't so sharp.
