Late instar of a Squashbug Sp ?







Just wouldn't turn enough for a picture of the back so unsure as to id?
But
Checking the book and looking more carefully it looks like the pattern on the thorax is a giveaway to
Myathropa florea?



Heliophilus Sp? Probably (H Pendulus)



Hoverfly?

Just so taken by the eyes.
Couldn't get the whole body picture.



Definite wing loop



Eristalsis Sp? Face not quite enough turned to be sure, but yellow front and middle tarsi suggest Eristalsis pertinax I think.
