PatrickCalmels Unknown spotting

Thank you Mark. I am not good with flies. Too many look similar.
I have added a photo of the flower, with 1 mm scale.
It is not the exact same flower, but same type from the same area.

The fly does hover dead still, for short periods. This was the only clear photo, from a burst of five frames.
All the photos have been cropped.
I have other photos of the fly, male and female. I will post them on Noah.

I have changed the notes and deleted the incorrect naming of the fly.
Thanks again for your help.

Oops!
Thank you for checking up on me. Much appreciated :)
It looks like Trilineata exists in the Americas.
I will have to do some better research, and find out what this tiny fly is.
Would it be a Senotainia?

Re the question about getting close.
Late afternoon and early mornings, these wasps can be approached with ease
