Can anyone confirm this tentative ID for a very pretty hoverfly?

Corsica 29.5.10 c10mm c 400m altitude.

Seems to match this image from nearby Sardinia and ID details closely: http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=24410

OK many thanks. Good to get this right. and yes, it was very elegant and I was pleased to get some clear shots before it buzzed off.
