Hornet hover fly?

[FullerBee]

Not the best pictures…was about to get a decent close up when guard bee decided I wasn’t wanted. This is just outside my hive. Think it’s a hornet mimic hover fly..? I know it’s not strictly bee but interesting…I believe they get confused with Asian hornets….

Volucella zonaria and yes people report them as Velutina, right enough

It is a fly, those who have some basic knowledge of insects wouldn't confuse them.
