CLOSED: Is this a Sawfly?

Columbus, OH(Zone 5b)

I've had tons of the larva just riddling the leaves of my roses... now I found this fly like thing and I was wondering if it's the actual sawfly

These appear to be true flies (order Diptera), possibly flower flies (family Syrphidae. Adult rose slugs (sawflies) seldom are noticed, but would look like the image at http://nathistoc.bio.uci.edu/hymenopt/Sawfly1a.jpg
