you may be correct, but they do not look exactly alike, in the UK we just call them "wasps"

No claim to expertise, but I do know they sting like hell and usually multiple times.

Jerry, I love the photo and a DDL shows excellent sharp images. Not surprised being a Canon L lens.

Looks like one of the bees/wasps that I had on my property and live in holes in the ground or a wall. Stings hurt like crazy. Hunted them down and killed them all. Make sure they are not invading your property.
Great shot though. And great tool you used to get that closeup.

They look pretty, but they are nasty.

Some photos of Hoverflies in Wikipedia are similar but I couldn’t find size range.
Nice shot 👍
