Resaca Vieja syrphid
World Birding Center at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park, Hidalgo County, Texas, USA
October 10, 2008
Encountered this critter while seeking Aeshnid dragonflies along the Resaca Vieja Trail last October. Had seen this sort many times but never had one hold still for photos as cooperatively as this individual did. Seems most like an Ocypamus but not quite an exact match...

Neat fly!
It's a male, but that's all I know here. Will wait and watch with you for ID.
