Looks like a honeybee, but it may not be, because its flying style seemed different. Its pattern too. Please can someone help me identify this?

It's a fly of some kind (Diptera), it has only two wings.

It looks like it's from the genus Syrphus.

Altho' I think that the Bug Guide website will focus only on the North American 'bugs' - yours, does bear some resemblance to some of these guys (Family: Helophilus). Take a look > http://bugguide.net/node/view/68262
