Very similar to T. fontana (they blend where they meet west from the Rockies), but T. cincta has a black stripe through the eye. Likes sunny patches in woodland and forest in mountains best. Resembles a Conozoa quite a lot. It has a fast rather high-pitched, almost quiet buzz or pulse buzz when it flies. Likes to fly through trees and bushes, making it hard to catch, even though it doesn't fly far.
