Thanks for your help Tamar & thank you for your kind comment Anoop!
Beautiful fly, amazing picture too :)
Genus Poecilognathus (a Bee Fly) I think. Possibly Poecilognathus punctipennis but it doesn't quite match the images on bugguide (they only have three identified as that species). Slim pickings for info on this fly on the internet on easily found sources.
