Syrphid fly

Well, initially I thought I knew the species, but now, looking closer, I don't even know what genus this is:-) It is in the Syrphidae family, though, and I know a couple folks who could put a name to it.

Syrphid fly

Eric. You amze me, I was relying on you to name this one for me. I certainly have had a few different species around the garden.

Dasysyrphus

Surely a female fly from the subfamily Syrphini.
If I think of the species I know from Europe, this would surely be a species from the genus Dasysyrphus!
In your part of the world there are 7 species of this genus, so I would look in this group if I were you!

Dasysyrphus osburni!

Would be my educated guess anyhow!
