none of the above, its a hoverfly
Yes, one of the many types of hoverfly - great to have in the garden, they eat aphids and pollinate our flowers and do many other useful things. They are flies and have no sting.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Hoverflies are easy to distinguish - they don't have long antennae, just stubby antennae in the middle of the face.
Imato your campanula looks so healthy, my flowered like yours to begin with but now has only 1 bud on. Not sure if t's the rain making them soggy or what!
