By all accounts, the for tarsi seem to indicate as much.

That the tarsi are pale and thick? In Syrphids can we assume with eyes this large that this is a male? --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

Pale not necessarily, but the tarsus is modified (broadened segments in this case).
