No Syrphidae. Looks more like Ephydra or Setacera (Ephydridae) to me. Does it have a dorsal pattern, then Ephydra (marine), if not Setacera (fresh water). Whatever the genus, species level is impossible without breeding them to adult stage or DNA. Unless of course only 1 species is known from that location
