Thanks for the help, Paul, and thanks for the suggestion, Andre. I did send the image to Chris Thompson and he was kind enough to comment:
"Without being able to clearly see the face in lateral view, etc., it is difficult to identify these bare-eyed [=Cartosyrphus] Cheilosia species. However, the collecting date, locality and overall habitus makes it highly probable to be C. pallipes."
