Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Syrphidae mimicking a fly

Hi everyone, I have these pictures of a Syrphid fly I took in San Isidro, Buenos Aires, Argentina. It called my attention because it seems a wasp.

I'd like to identify it at least at genre level.

Thanks
Diego Rosa

Possibly Ocyptamus (Mimocalla) bonariensis.

The type locality is Buenos Aires and the species name apparently means "from Buenos Aires".
