Photograph taken in July 2011, South East England, in-land rural/horticultural/agricultural environment.

I would appreciate an ID as far as possible (Family would be a great start!) and any advice as to what would have been needed to make a better id (wings, mesonotum, fly-in-hand etc)

Given my complete ignorance of all things dipterological (If that's a word), I shall take a brave guess at Syrphidae...
