I remember this fly as quite big but think it is a pendulus.
But when I look at other pendulus photos from same place it seems different.
Could it be something else?

Thanks for your help in advance

H. hybridus, I think

This is not H. hybridus.
My guess is Helophilus affinis (posteror margin of tergits black, and pale fore tarsi).

It's affinis indeed, a nice male. Great for the Syrphidae gallery :)
