A new hoverfly for the patch.....from 2013 !

Whilst sorting my photo collection, I came across these images taken in 2013. Date location and tentative identification present and correct, so I tried again but couldn't decide if it was one species or another near-identical. I posted on Facebook and had the beast identified within seconds by the national recorder. So, here's Anasimyia transfuga (the other possibility was A. contracta), Holmhurst Track, 19th May 2013. I've not seen another one in these parts.
