I agree with Agnes, it's not Eristalinus aeneus. See http://www.phorid.net/flower_fly/hover_s... and if this is correct http://potokito-myshot.blogspot.com/2012... it looks like I agree on her second point too...

Not Eristalinus aeneus. This is the image of a Eristalinus aeneus -> http://www.phorid.net/flower_fly/hover_s.... The spotting is nearer Eristalinus megacephalus - http://www.biolib.cz/IMG/GAL/192787.jpg.
