Can anyone help with this. I tried keying this and sort of got to Pipizella, but that is obviously wrong.

Hello walwyn,
it's Platycheirus species. Look at the fore leg : tibia is broadened and flatened at apex.
Here we get in subfamily Syrphinae because back of head is concave and thus partialy "wrap" (don't know if it is a good translation of my french language Wink ) the anterior part of thorax.

Regards.
