I think you're safe with Toxomerus geminatus on this one.
Yours certainly looks like a lighter marked version of this one:

Ron! I will move it now.

Not an ID -
but might be a lightly marked Toxomerus geminatus?

Definitely Toxomerus, a female.
The rest of the U.S. has only three species, but there are supposed to be more in Florida. If this were elsewhere, I'd think T. geminatus too.

Glad to see you shooting syrphids, Tim!

Thank you
both for the help. It appears there is demand for a book on the syrphid flies of Florida!
