Eristalis arbustorum? - Eristalis arbustorum - Male

I think this may be Eristalis arbustorum but I would like a second (or more) opinion as I am unfamiliar with flower-loving flies.

your ID may be correct.

Typically, ID to that species requires a straight-on face photo.

Can't help with ID but...
I cropped your image. Only you and editors can see the full sized image by clicking on it. It helps the other viewers see the insect better if it is cropped.
