I think this is not syrphid BUT a conopid fly. Conopidae family. The atennas are more longr than any syrphid, and it has a very recurved abdomen. Also wing venation is not caracteristic of syrphidae fly. But dont trust in me ,because I'm still learning.  very slow, indeed.  |

I think this is a Conopidae: in the wings of the Syrphidae, there is at least a ribbings part parallel to the posterior margin of the wing, not is here. I think a Conops sp. |

Certainly looks like a Conops quadrifasciatus female.
