Well
it's a male. Eupeodes maybe. Maybe Ron can give you a closer ID.

These are usually placed in tribe Syrphini
It's one of a group of syrphids that I call "evil twins", that is, either Eupeodes or Syrphus in this instance. They range from hard to impossible to ID finer, unless Gerard can sort this one out. (Boy, what a bunch of buck passing on this ID. LOL!)

Maybe, Ron
but at least it always gets passed to the wiser head.
