Indeed,
Ischiodon scutellaris looks very like your fly. Just a guess because I don't know this genus. One more for Gerard. ;)
Greetings.

And indeed, Stephane is right, I mean with the fly?s name! :D
A female Ischiodon scutellaris. Nice find!!
In Ischiodon it?s like this: It?s a small genus with 3 species, of which I. aegypticus occurs throughout Africa, but it also occurs along the southern coast of Spain and Italy, on the Balearic Islands and the Canary islands.
The second species, I. scutellaris, is widespread in the Oceanic- Oriental region, as well in the Australasian region. It reaches the southern Palearctic in much of Asia and it goes as far West as the Transcaucasus.(like this one)
The third species, I. feae is known from the Cape Verde Islands.B)
Greetings, Gerard

Thanks a lot Stephane and Gerard:)
I don't really know many of south-east species of Syrphidae. So that I were not certain the genus and species name.
