How about Eristalis arbustorum?
I think the white stripes on the abdomen are telling.

arbustorum
The key feature of E. arbustorum is the white face, which we can't see here. Read Gerard's comment.

So that's why they hide their faces!
Thanks, Beatriz, for the clarification.

Moved from Flies. They are so hard to tell apart, let us keep it at genus level for now.
