Female
Cistogaster globosa :) They seem to love low-growing, white flowers like Yarrow and Wild Carrot. Males have a black & orange abdomen and look a bit like
Gymnosoma but with shorter antennae.

Thanks a lot Chris!
Yes, these Yarrows were the lowest in the area, and they attracted a lot different flies. And they attracted me :D
