Moved from Syrphinae.Thank you Ron for your comment.The shape of the abdomen did confuse me as well and decided to post as Syrphinae first.

My pleasure, Kurt.
FYI, Syrphid Flies is probably a better place for these, as it's reviewed more actively.

This time around, I'm pretty sure it's Paragus

In the ones I've shot, abdomen is smooth and red is the more common color. Postures here are very Paragus.
