Can anyone confirm that this hoverfly is E. horticola?
Photographed 16.7.09 in the Hecho valley, Spanish Pyrenees c 1200m altitude.

Not E. lineata(=horticola)
I think Eristalis similis( tars 1 black) or E. pertinax(tars 1 yellow).

Many thanks for your advice Lukasz.  I'll check if i have any other shots taken at the same time which might show the colour of the  front feet more clearly and then  I might know for sure what this is.
