A Handsome Hoverfly with Stereo

In the summer, I tend to have more images than I can process. I found these images in a folder labelled May 2020.

I thought this was a Chrysotoxum but the antennae are wrong. The rear view image may help to identify it.

It has been suggested to me, elsewhere, that it is Xanthogramma pedissequum with which I agree. The book I normally use is missing in current chaos!

This was sitting on a leaf below the level of surrounding vegetation so I could not get quite the angle I wanted. However, it makes a passable stereo.

Olympus EM-1 (aperture priority), Olympus 4/3 x2 TC, Olympus 4/3 50mm f2 macro, 1/320 at f8 ISO 800, hand-held.

The stereo is crosseye.
