 Hello,

I don't know which family this fly belongs. Is it possible to discover its genus and species too?

 Family Syrphidae, probably Toxomerus. There are many species in South America.

 Did a bit of research and it looks very close to Toxomerus virgulatus

There was a ID request with a similar pic:

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
