Black and yellow flying insect - not a wasp but what is it?

Does anyone have any idea what this is? When I first noticed it flying into the house, I saw a blur of stripes and thought ‘tiger mosquito’ but after closer inspection, I don’t know think so….struggling to find on internet

Should there be a picture?

no photo ?

I would saya hoverfly too. They have only one set of wings unlike bees and wasps who have 2 sets of wings.

Bee

I had attached a photo - it seems to have fallen off!

Btw, saw responses of hoverfly but it doesn’t look like to me. Obvs it helps if there is a pic to begin with (doh!)

AND JUST LIKE THAT, I FOUND IT! It is called a Mud Dauber Wasp……

Nothing like posting a question on here and then answering your own question. First time for everything, I guess

As I said if it has two sets of wings then you know it's a bee or a wasp.

Bee

I had one today..google told me it was an asian hornet..not nice.
