I'll second that!!!
No wonder we couldn't figure it out. There weren't any pictures of this genus in the guide yet.
Thanks Martin!!!

Hi Tom,
I suggest to look at Mallota (Eristalini / Syrphidae) .

Hi Hartmut and Adalbert,
I'm pretty sure this is an Eristalini,and it looks like a hairy Eristalis to me. But I'm no expert when it comes to flies, and hopefully one of the diptera specialists will chime in.
Thanks for the help!

Looks more like Bee fly (Bombyliidae) in the
Eristalini group.
