You are a reverse victim of mimicry. This is the order many Syrphdiae mimic.

I think tribe Bembicini (Hymenoptera, Crabronidae). Is the area sandy? The tribe nests in sand.

Thank you John and Ectemnius for your reactions to this fly!
John, the area may be sandy, but there were many of these flowers.
