Roel,
Looks like a "HOVER" fly of sorts; not sure, 'cause I can't see its face. Very similar to: "CLEANS ITSELF".
Otherwise this is an EXCELLENT image. TFS.

Hello Roel,
the picture shows the hoverfly Volucella pellucens from the family Syrphidae.
The wings are really sharp but due to the narrow depth of field cause by f/4 other important
parts lack sharpness. A smaller aperture would have been advantageous.
Best wishes, Peter
