Tiger Fly, Agreed
Compare overall - and wings particularly - with this one. My photo is pretty blurry; I need to shoot a better wing view for future IDs. Fortunately these flies are out in SoCal right now.

Thanks again
Another one with nothing from NJ, and this image isn't so bad!

Perfectly good shot
It's nice to post world-class photos. Nice, but certainly not essential. I'm proudest of a blurry shot of a bug that I was first to put on the Internet. I'm almost as proud of some nifty syrphid photos that replaced a blurry fly I was first to post in America.
