Common or German wasp

Vespular vulgaris/germanica

Description:

Saw this wasp catch the hoverfly (Episyrphus balteatus) in the air then land and eat it. Couldn't believe my luck. Right place, right time. :)

Notes:

Can't tell which of the two common species this is. Really need to see head markings to be sure.
