A tough call! I used:
Vockeroth 1992 - The Insects and Arachnids of Canada Part 18: The Flower Flies of
the Subfamily Syrphinae of
Canada, Alaska, and
Greenland
Diptera: Syrphidae

2nd image, hind leg, femur appears to be dark for the basal 2/3rds, therefore it keys to S. vitripennis

Norfolk County, ON
Tentative ID.
Yellow-legged Flower Fly? Yellow bands meet the margin broadly.
Wing cell bm is bare anteriorly, (see the far wing for a suggestion of this).
This is a male and the metatarsus is uniform in colour and the metafemur is yellow apically then changing to dark (from what is showing below the wing).

I'm not familiar with the taxon and wouldn't normally ID to species level in that case. Given the very few iNat recordings of any level of this taxon in the area, I went with the given suggestion. I will probably downgrade after further research unless someone else does it. I'm not in the position to challenge any reclassificaiton.

Unknown Fly
Identified as Syrphidae on Bowerbird by Tony D.: "A syrphid, but unsure of genus at the moment. Will have a better look when home."
