I would be very grateful for help identifying this fly.

Seen in montane forest, Nimba Mountains, Guinea.

I've also included a photo of the wasp I presume it's mimicking. There were both seen feeding at the same bush. Both fly and wasp are approximately an inch in length.

I think the wasp might be an African paper wasp, Belonogaster juncea, or a related species.

Many thanks
Chris
