Thanks guys, of course - how embarrassing! I was fooled by the somewhat heavily marked veins, most of the NA Syrphids have totally hyaline wings.

I am sure that Gerard Pennards will be able to put a genus name, at least.

If you lived in Palearctic not Nearctic, I would say Brachyopa

Excellent; thank you. The faunas at the genera levels are similar.
13 spp. in NA
