It look like some Helophilus but something wrong with tergite drawings.
Have somebody an idea ?
On our french forum, we have 2 ideas: Anasimya lunata or a strange Helophilis pendulus.
What's about ?
Sorry but I have just this only bad picture.
Thanks for all helps

the antennae are black...which means it is Helophilus.
to say 100% that it is H. pendulus we have to see the hind tibia, but I think that it is ok this ID concerning the pattern of the abdomen (tergite 2 with a wide black band posteriorly, thus dividing the yellow area from that on tergite 3 ----Stubbs, 1983).
