What a great photo, the fly looks like it's wearing sunglasses...

Definitely Eristalis family. Going by the leg colouration and lack of facial stripe I would agree with E. tenax. The trouble with this species is that it occurs in several abdominal colour variations and there are a few similar species.

Phil, this is another drone-fly. Possibly Eristalis tenax.

Oh.. that's wonderful. Perfect dof, and focus right on. Can't get much better!
