Syrphidae? Stratiomyidae? A somewhat blurry photo, but please help to ID this specimen.

I think Conopidae, perhaps close to Physocephala (of course, having no knowledge about Diptera of Guianas).

More like Syrphidae (Microdontinae). Could you send me the image in full resolution to lukasz@insects.pl ?
More details of wing venation will be helpful in identification.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
