Thanks it does looks like Stratiomyini. Might be Hoplitimyia constans? Gonna keep searching.

I agree. It really looks alike the european Soldier Fly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratiomys_chamaeleon It has to be a species of the same genus or family :-)

Fly - possibly a soldier fly (Stratiomyidae) Try something like this - maybe not the same species, but should be close (the soldier fly, not the hoverfly). http://tristram.squarespace.com/home/?currentPage=206
