Eristalis flavipes
Coloration is very similar to the bumblebees I see around, but the eyes are different and bumblebees have longer antennae
Found on Cow Parnsip (Pushki) in a residential area

Yes I thought so too!
It's interesting how they mimic the red belt which I assume is common among bumblebees there. Bumblebee mimics around here would not have them.
