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.
Ivy flowers (Hedera helix)
Ivy Bee (Colletes hederae)

This one would appear to have a broad face stripe indicating Eristalsis tenax. But, it doesn't seem to have the thickened hind tibia.
Eristalsis Sp
Need to get more head on shots to help with id.

Seems to suggest Heliophilus pendulus. Black band separates yellow between T2 and T3.

Suggests H hybridus because the yellow front dusting extends to the ocellar triangle?
