Adi, kindly check if this is the same as your spotting: Pentatomophaga latifascia (Villeneuve, 1932), a Tachinid fly, subfamily Phasiinae: http://blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?blogId=dachori&logNo=130034495023&redirect=Dlog&widgetTypeCall=true http://zsi.gov.in/checklist/Indian%20Tachinid%20flies.pdf

I too guessed it as Syrphids Lauren... But waited for confirmation from friends like you(as i know very less about creatures)...Found some links of mating syrphids, though they differ from this.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/argent34/5795087478/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/edmcaskill/5954148637/ http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/10835433 What do you suggest?

Great Photo!! These look like Syrphids. It is interesting that the male doesn't have the eyes contiguous like most male syrphids...
