Narrative:
Orlando departure called traffic ahead of us left to right at 3500'. When we saw the aircraft he was at our altitude and close. I turned left to avoid him. First officer said he was about 500' away. ATC was notified and questioned the other aircraft (small aircraft high wing) about his altitude--3500' and altimeter setting at 30.37. Orlando altimeter was 29.94.
