I put this one aside for quite a while trying to confirm it before uploading it, for some starnge reason. I should have collected it to be sure, but I did not. I am now quite sure of the ID though, especially after having stared at the Ontario Syrphid guide on numerous occasions and trying to make it into something else. I have six shots and I will upload the three best. I still can't count the hairs on the arista, but everything else seems to fit. Anyone else care to chime in? @jhskevington @stubirdnb @e-aus-kanada ?

Perhaps more distinctive than my individual from the park. This one clearly shows orange antennae and other features distinctive for the species. Since there are no guide images for this species yet, as long as people agree with my ID, I will use one of these as the image. @jhskevington @stubirdnb @e-aus-kanada , do you also agree with this one's ID?

Found in my older pics recently. Perhaps my best shot so far of this species. They are gorgeous, so there is incentive to go out and find some more and do them justice ;) @stubirdnb , I am hoping you agree with the ID?
