Reminds of Syrphus opinator,
Reminds of Syrphus opinator, but the black on the hind legs makes me uncertain. Bill?

 
I have never seen Syrphus opi
I have never seen Syrphus opinator pic with black on the hind femora but have in other related species where the hind femora are expected to be completely orange. The thorax looks dark but I think something has got on the thorax and the posterior part looks more typical of Syrphus opinator. The frons looks like Syrphus opinator and I think that is what it is...... Syrphus opinator .... female.
