A very common large (10-15mm) hover-fly with distinctive additional thin black stripes on the 3rd and 4th abdominal segments. The hovering really helps when trying to capture one in flight, although they do tend to dive around a lot. A bit of patience and I managed to get this shot, which I am delighted with.
