Syrphids - female

Syrphids - Female
5 mi. south of Port Angeles, ~2,000 ft. elevation, Clallam County, Washington, USA
August 3, 2008
I followed these two syrphids around for a few minutes. I'm guessing a male following a female from flower to flower. (The flowers are oxeye daisies.)
The third photo is of just the female. The fourth photo, I think, is the male.
