Are you sure this is E. balteatus? It has 4 black stripes down its abdomen but E. balteatus only has three.
Oh, thank you. I wasn't sure, because it didn't look so slim as marmalade hovefly. :)
is a marmalade hoverfly. See my spotting:

I have another picture I did not add yet where the fly looks the same as yours :-)
