Found this pair on a narrow leaved Hedera helix cultivar.
I think they are of the species Helophilus pendulus,common name Sun Fly

A good macro shot David. The females head is a little OOF but not too bad.

Well captured.

A bucket of water job me thinks-well captured-maybe abit more room on the right would have been nice

Nicely captured especially for hand held David, I agree with Dave about a little more room on the right.
