Ocyptamus fascipennis
I took this out front of my house, on a Crape Myrtle. The Bees are loving the honey. I used a Panasonic FZ-30 camera, with a Ranox 250 magnifacation lens. Thanks for the enformation on the fly. Billy

Exceptional composition
So is your use of selective focus. The entire fly is quite crisp.

Unlinked the images since the flies
are definitely not the same individual, and moved the image from Wolf Ridge to ID Request.
