Hover fly, Possibly Criorhina sp., a bumblebee mimic

I didn't get clear enough photos front and back, but because it was out in spring I think it may be a Criorhina species of hover fly. Doesn't it look just like a bumblebee?

That really is amazing Christine. I am sure most of us seeing it in situ would just assume it was a Bumblebee.
