It's wild flower season on the west coast of South Africa. Found these diptera visiting one of the flower species. Body length around 6mm I would guess. Photographed yesterday, Paternoster town, West coast, Western Cape, South Africa. Sea level. I would like to confirm the family and progress the ID if possible. The first 4 images are of the male and the last 4 of the female (I think).
