Not syrphid:-)
This is a male tabnid (horse fly).

horse fly
Thanks for sending the search to the right direction. Could this be Hybomitra sodalis?

male sodalis
are practically black with white triamgles on the abdomen; look much like the females:-

Your specimen belongs to the 'red-sided group' that includes affinis, nitidifrons nuda, arpadi, and epistates. Can't tell which one from the photo.
