Thank you for your comments Juergen, pointing me towards the family Eupeodes is a huge help, however having checked I think mine appears closer to E. latifasciatus. I would be interested to see what you think of this.
On the rather rudimentary list that I have of Cyprus Syrphids it seems that we have E. corollae, latifasciatus and nuba.

Thank you and Regards,
John
