Muck Fly? What are they?

What are their real names i have 2 that hover in the garden, they are about the size of a wasp but dirty in colour and just hover in the same place. When i try to get them away the just come back to the same spot. I'm just wondering what they are.

'Muck Fly' go by the names of Harry, Tom, Dougie and Danny :P

Seriously tho, they are commonly known as Hover-flies or to be scientific, Syrphus ribesii.
