This one I see quite a few of by our Begonias and African Daisies. I think it's Melanostoma but not certain

Wonderful series Ian.
Think it's H. pendulus though, H. trivittatus doesn't have the stripe above the antennae.

Cheers again Brian, it's confusing sometimes on the IDs :).

Can you confirm the ID of the last, is it a Melanostoma?

I think it's Platycheirus albimanus with that abdomen colouring (silver/grey)
but not certain
