Quoting from StN keys for E. tenax:
Eye hairs unevenly distributed, each eye with two distinct, dorso-ventral bands (coalescing dorsally) of longer, more densely packed hairs
Here no band on eyes is visible.

Not visible from all angles. This is a typical
Eristalis tenax female. If one has seen thousands of them, they are indistinguishable.
E. arbustorum can be excluded.
