It fell out of the air and died right next to me. Spotted in Melbourne Australia. Quite small, a bit smaller than the tip of a standard flathead screwdriver
A bit of Google Lens’ing suggests it looks quite similar to Eupeodes lapponicus, but that’s a European/North American species. I’m a bit awestruck by the pattern

I used Picture Insect and it says hover fly. Now I have to check if I signed up to a free trial for something I don’t want to pay for down the road.
