I think this is a wasp by it's thin waist?

The antennae and eyes indicate this is a Fly (& if you look closely just under the wing in front of the hind leg you can see the little yellow halteres). I’m not particularly good with flies but thinking this looks like it could belong to Family Conopidae or Family Syrphidae😊
