Syrphids, but you can do better than that.
Please move your post to Syrphidae for expert attention. Here's a link:

My apologize.
I take on a 'post first-ask questions later" approach to my image entries. This is just the first place I put them up.

 
No need to apologize - that's the single best way to do it.
Where to post for fastest, best results depends where the experts go first, and that varies by insect. More info here: http://bugguide.net/node/view/298899

With flies - my particular area of interest - Flies (Diptera) is always a good starting point.
