What do I have pollinating my beautyberries?

I was thinking maybe I would get some butterflies, but these look interesting.

Can't see enough detail for a positive i.d., but I suspect that they most likely are hover/flower flies in the family Syrphidae. Many species in this family are good pollinators...

Yup - They're syrphids, all right...
