Brindled Hoverfly (Helophilus pendulus), originally uploaded by Pipsissiwa.
I've got huge numbers of hoverfly species that enjoy my garden in the summer, but this one is my favourite. It has attractive banding with a central line on the abdomen, and wonderful yellow and black stripes on the thorax, unlike most other species. It looks a bit like it has a footie shirt on :)
