Species 36 - Syrphus ribesii

Is there a species of hoverfly that isn't the business? This one is another real cracker. I've seen it several times before, but this was the first chance I had to get a decent shot. At the same time I also had a Painted Lady, I did get a photo but it wasn't great so decided to go with this one. If I don't see another Painted Lady i may regret that decision.
