Another golden Syrphid Fly on a succulent leaf

Here is another golden Syrphid Fly (Syrphidae, Diptera) on a succulent leaf of non-native Jade Plant (Crassula ovata, Crassulaceae) in the garden yesterday. This fly might be species Syrphus opinator which is said to be common in central California, though it seems a little less golden than some others I've been showing lately like this one, so it might be something else like the genus Eupeodes. Whatever it is, it's a handsome fly. HFDF! (San Marcos Pass, 25 March 2021)
