Hi everyone, I have these pictures of a Syrphid fly I took in San Isidro, Buenos Aires, Argentina. It called my attention because it seems a wasp.
I'd like to identify it at least at genre level.
Thanks
Diego Rosa

Possibly
Ocyptamus (Mimocalla) bonariensis
.
The type locality is Buenos Aires and the species name apparently means "from Buenos Aires".
