Eristalis tenax? - Eristalis tenax

Eristalis tenax? - Eristalis tenax
Perennial Garden, Manito Park, Spokane, Spokane County, Washington, USA
September 23, 2014
Lots of hoverflies around, only was able to get shots of two species. This one and Eristalis arbustorum. That's assuming this isn't E. arbustorum. Warm sunny day. 70+ degrees. Plant is Buddlea davidii - Buttefly Bush.

Moved
Moved from Syrphid Flies.

Note two bands of hair on the eyes, which distinguishes it from Eristalis (Eoseristalis) (including E. arbustorum).

 
Thanks for the ID
And the info on what got you there. Will note it for future ID's as they seem to be common in this area.
