Good Day!
This beautiful Dipteran was found buzzing around our compost heap. Very much reminds me of Stratiomyiidae, but I'd like a conclusive ID if anyone can lend a hand. Smallish. Around 5-7 mm.
Thank you in advance!

Soory, no image visible. Apparently linking like this is only allowed with a considerably more expensive account. Better try attaching the image.

Hello,
non-expert guess: Syrphidae (resembles a male of the European genus
Syritta
).
