Hey Rupert,
Nice pictures!! No, it's not Brachyopa, but a genus that looks a lot like them.
This is the male of Hammerschmidtia ferruginea!

Best greetings
Rupert

Many thanks to you, too, Andre!
So I'll try if the pics are good enough for Paul, too, to accept them for the gallery Wink

Best greetings
