Welcome to the forum Su - I think that it is a stiletto fly - Thereva sp. and in fact I photographed a similar one yesterday - see this thread. Yours might be a different species though so do you have any other photos from other angles - perhaps showing the head more clearly?

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
