Chocolate brown-slightly reddish tinge. Plus yellow patches and bands. Looks midway between an ant and a bee.
Busy building wasp nest-type structures on the leaf of a potted plant. There wre 3-4 of these insects but only 2 stayed on long enough for me to take snaps.

Thank you, EmilieChich and John La Salle...have corrected it to Wasp (Vespidae)
No fruits flies, but real wasps.
Although these are similar to fruit flies in colour - they actually are wasps in the family Vespidae.
