Yep
You're quite right, no wonder it didn't look like a syrphid a knew!
greetings, Gerard

looks like something totally different
I think this is a Notogramma sp. in the family Ulidiidae. There are already some pictures in that taxon, so you can compare.

Well
Orthonevra is a good guess, at least something like Orthonevra, Chrysogaster or something close. At least I'm quite sure it's in the Brachyopini.
I can't remember having seen this species, maybe I'll get back to it!

Female syrphid
A slight chance it's Orthonevra, but those have very fancy eyes. Any shots from the side?

Sorry, no lateral shots...
Will keep an eye out for more... Thanks, Mike
