Moved from Syrphid Flies.

Tribe Syrphini
Seems more unusual than Syrphus. A wild guess: Didea or Epistrophella.

 
Thanks!
Thanks very much, Ron. I'll move to Syrphini.

 
Definitely Syrphini - not Did
Definitely Syrphini - not Didea or Epistrophella though - Didea has R4+5 bent down and Epistrophella has separated spots on the 4th tergite. Unusual abdominal markings, though.
