The nice pair of lateral + dorsal photos that Tony T posted earlier in this thread (see below) show a very dark specimen of
Physocephala furcillata...which is pretty much the only conopine that seems to make it as far northeast as New Brunswick in North America.

This is a North American
Physocephala sp. (
Conopidae) that closely resembles a Potter Wasp (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Eumeninae).
In fact, when I first saw this fly on a flower I thought it was a Potter wasp.
Length: 10.5mm excluding antennae. 19 September 2007, New Brunswick, Canada.
