Syrphidae? Stratiomyidae? A somewhat blurry photo, but please help to ID this specimen.

I think Conopidae, perhaps close to Physocephala (of course, having no knowledge about Diptera of Guianas).

Thank you. Let's hope someone can confirm at least the family ID.

More like Syrphidae (Microdontinae). Could you send me the image in full resolution to lukasz@insects.pl ?
More details of wing venation will be helpful in identification.
